Pressing the voice search button from within the Sling app was different and better on the Nexus Player than on any other devices I've tested so far. On the other hand, hitting the voice search button on the Roku 3, Amazon Fire TV or Sony TV remote while within the Sling app bounced me back out of the app to perform a cross-platform search.

I prefer the in-app search when I'm actually in an app, and cross-platform when I'm in the main menu system. They don't though. There's still many channels that sling doesn't offer, like spike and TLC.

The on demand shows rarely work, the app usually crashes. Often times it will crash in the middle or towards the end of a show, and the only way to ever see the end is to restart it from the beginning and pray you make it to the end before it crashes again. Sometimes the pause button works, but the app crashes when you try to resume. So if the app crashes 5 minutes before the end of your show, you can either restart it from the beginning, or move on with your life and never see the ending.

Take my advice, spend the extra money and go with a provider like dish or direct TV. Spend the extra money of a different tv provider, at least their products and services function properly and you get all the channels you want and not just a few.
