Sling Freestream's new feature lets you channel surf on Roku devices

This new feature eliminates some of the pain points that often come from trying to navigate streaming content.
For many cord-cutters, one of the most frustrating aspects of transitioning away from a traditional TV-watching experience is how difficult it is to change between streaming services and channels. While nearly all of the content that viewers are used to from broadcast and cable TV is now available on streaming, the ease and familiarity that consumers are used to has long been difficult to replicate for streamers. However, now some Sling Freestream users with Roku devices are discovering that they have access to a new way to browse channels on the free service.
Key Details Sling Freestream has added a new channel surfing feature for Roku users. Users can easily hop into the new mode, showing a dynamic list of channels to scroll through. The feature may not yet be available for all users.
