SlingTV limits to 3 streams at once IF you subscribe to their new, higher priced multi-stream service. It is in beta now. Playstation Vue limits to 5 streams at once, but it depends on which equipment mix you use how many you can actually do. Important!! READ THE FAQ for both services so you don't get surprised. -- ElfinA
