Next, switch your base service. Press +SELECT next to the base service you want to switch to; the base service you’re currently subscribed to will automatically de-select
Add back your Extras by selecting the drop-down (Your Subscription) Extras and pressing +ADD next to the Extra or Extras you want to add. +ADD will change to a check-mark when selected

Select Show More to see all available standalone services
Choose +SELECT next to the standalone you want to add. The icon will change to a check-mark
Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Review

Where Can I See What Channels Are In An Extra?
Visit our services page to see what channels are available in SLING Orange, SLING Blue and Extra services.
I’m Not Seeing A Channel I Added
The availability of certain channels in an Extra can vary depending on which base service you subscribe to. To make sure you should be receiving a channel:
Confirm your service(s) in the SLING app by selecting Settings, then Account. You’ll see your current subscription(s) listed on the page
Visit our Service Optimizer and search for your channel to make sure it’s available with the base service + Extra combination you’re currently subscribed to
If the channel isn’t available with your current base + Extra subscription (and you still want to see it), follow the steps for Changing Your Base Service above
If you have the correct subscription and you’re still not seeing your channel, try the following:
Give it a few minutes: Most subscription additions take place within a few seconds, but it can take up to 10 minutes for channels to be added
Relaunch the SLING app: The app may just need to refresh
If you’re still not seeing your channel, try troubleshooting the issue
