Sing is far from perfect, but as a cable substitute with Live TV it does the job. What are the negative things that make it not perfect for you ? There have been a couple instances where the DVR has not recorded a new episode of a show although the setup was correct. Also, you have to delete shows 1-by-1 from the DVR which can be a bit cumbersome, and there have been instances where Ive tried to delete something from my TV via Roku and it wont let me. I had to go into Sling via my phone to get the delete to work.
