As someone who cut the cord on cable years ago, I’ve been getting by on a rotating roster of Hulu, Vudu, Amazon Prime, and of course, Netflix (two words: Tiger King). And yet, if I’m being totally honest with myself, there's still something... missing. Sometimes, when I’ve had my fill of movies, and I’ve watched all of the true crime docs I can handle, I find myself longing for shows or networks I once adored that aren’t included in my streaming services. To my rescue? Sling TV.

From now through Monday, April 13 at 7 a.m. EST, U.S. customers can sign up for a free week trial of the service when you sign up with your email address, password and zip code. That’s it! There’s no payment information to enter, so you won’t have to worry about setting an alarm to cancel if you want to avoid being charged.

What's more, your signup gets you access to Sling’s mid-level Blue plan (a step up from its entry-level Orange). Regularly $30 per month, Blue membership gives you access to more than 45 different channels, including Lifetime, E!, Bravo, Cartoon Network, the Travel Channel, the Discovery Channel, and more. It also allows for three simultaneous streams, so you can watch your favorite reality TV show at the same time that your little one is watching their Saturday morning cartoons from another room.

Your free signup will get you instant access to more than 45 channels.

While Sling has given customers free trials before, it’s usually only been for a week at a time and you typically have to cancel your membership to avoid incurring future charges, making this the best offer we’ve ever seen from the company.

You just may find you want to keep it, however, particularly if you regularly stream without a stick. When watching from a TV with built-in streaming capabilities, like a Roku TV or an Nvidia Shield, we found Sling to offer high stability with few-to-no hiccups in our year-long test of the service. It struggled a bit with the Amazon Fire stick—lowering resolution or dropping the connection at times—so that's something to keep in mind if you're considering a more long-term commitment.

We did like the fact that its interface was streamlined and easy to use, though it took some time to get used to. Plus you’ll have the two-week period to test it out with your own particular device free of charge, so there's no risk involved.

If anyone needs me, I'll just be over here, binge-watching Bravo...
