The Super Bowl or the Oscars are about to start, and you're scrambling to figure out how to watch it. You end up having to sign up for a whole month of a live TV streaming service, which then shows up on your bank account again the next month – and the next and the next – until you finally remember to cancel it.

Sling TV is launching a new lost-cost offering in the streaming ecosystem. The live TV streaming service is launching a $4.99 Day Pass, $9.99 Weekend Pass and $14.99 Week Pass. The passes activate live TV instantly, which the streaming service is positioning as an attractive option for fans of football, awards shows and more.

Are you a TV watcher with commitment issues? Sling TV thinks it has the answer in the shape of its new one-day passes. The app-based alternative to traditional cable will sell you a $5 Day Pass that allows you to stream live TV (including sports)from any channel included in its Sling Orange plan for 24 hours.
