I think Philo may be a better value.
The Sling Roamio has a DVR, but this new one I posted does too and it is much
cheaper.

Do they have a new one with DVR as well? I am about to ditch my basic cable in
favor of OTA combined with DirectTVNow, Netflix, And Amazon Prime. Any others
out there proved to be worth something?

I remember reading your experience when going into this, and I was probably
more disappointed at the broad outage the day I signed up. Shit happens. I'll
give it some time, it seems to be working well beyond that.
Are you using the AirTV box?

I talked with the dish network guy at WISPA America, this is the product
Sling TV is helping push:

At home I have been less then impressed with the reliability of Sling.TV,
the first day I setup my demo there was a 15 hour outage. The integration
between OTA and sling.tv is awesome though, seamless I would say. The box is a
Android TV box, so I'm sure there is a certain amount of customization that
could be done for power users. Box outputs 4k, and seems to have good wireless
performance overall (I've used netflix/sling.tv on it). It's a neat concept,
but a little bit expensive to start up and I'm not sure I'm sold on Sling, even
if it does seem to work very well when it works.
