  • If you provide a U.S. Social Security number and you meet the credit criteria, no equipment deposit is required and your DVR is FREE.

  • If you do not provide a U.S. Social Security number or you do provide one, but do not meet DIRECTV's credit criteria, DIRECTV will require a $300 deposit and would credit it back to you at a rate of $5/month. They will also charge a non-refundable fee of $199 for your leased High-Definition Digital Video Recorder. For information about DIRECTV's policies, please look here.
  • DISH has a similar policy, but they charge $229 for the DVR, a Sling-Loaded Hopper, then you own it. DISH also offers a no credit check, no contract plan called "DISH Flex", look here for details!
  • You have complete control over your satellite service and may change your programming options and/or manage your account directly with your content provider

Why American TV 2 Go? There are other hosting services out there, so we encourage you to shop around. When you do, we believe that you will see why American TV 2 Go is the #1 Slingbox hosting provider in the world :

  • We provide unlimited upload bandwidth. Our customers in Central Europe and Japan regularly report streaming at 3000-4000 kbps and we have even seen bitrates above 8000 kbps!
  • Of course we provide a network connection for your Slingbox, but we also provide a second network connection for your DVR. This allows you to access 7000+ On Demand titles through DIRECTV CINEMA, to order Pay-Per-View using your virtual remote, and to schedule recordings via the directv.com DVR Manager or via the DIRECTV mobile app.
  • We provide our customers with the ability to reboot your Slingbox and DVR instantly via your americantv2go.com login, so you never need to wait for customer support when your Slingbox has a hiccup
  • We provide our customers with the ability to switch your Slingbox streaming mode between UDP and TCP via your americantv2go.com login, which allows you to balance performance, reliability, and compatibility as you see fit
  • All of our Slingboxes run cool and reliably because our advanced cooling system continuously forces cold air through each one, not just over or around it. Actively cooled Slingboxes are much more reliable than those left to convective cooling.
  • If you need one, we can provide access to Slingbox-optimized proxy servers around the world for only $15/month
  • We provide the best 24/7/365 customer support in the business
  • We have been Slinging since January 2008
