But don’t cut your cords just yet.

Right now, I'm experiencing the future of live television: I'm watching Bones. I don't know much about Bones, like what the difference between it and Castle is, but it's the best thing on, so I'm watching. That would be OK, if I were on a couch and watching it on a TV, but I'm watching it using the Sling TV app on my iPhone. Which, so far, means it's low quality, taking regular breaks to buffer, and draining my battery so quickly I'm going to be in trouble by the end of the work day.
Even before its public launch in the next few weeks, Sling TV is being widely touted as the future of TV — a way to watch cable channels without cable. Maybe so, and it's possible Sling TV will become a cord cutter's dream service. But it has a long way to go first.
Sling TV is a new streaming service from Dish network that costs $20 a month for the base package of 12 channels and allows you to watch live TV on your phone, tablet, or television, through Roku. It wants to cut cords once and for all. It's the first step toward unbundling cable subscriptions for anyone with a wireless connection. At its best, it represents new market for young adults who don't see the need for cable subscriptions and an entirely new way to watch television.
