Sling TV at present introduced that it is getting a deeper integration on the Google Nest Hub shows, together with the brand new Nest Hub Max.
Here is the gist:
Now you possibly can management Sling along with your voice to look at reveals on Nest Hub and Nest Hub Max, or use your voice to solid Sling to a Chromecast-connected TV. You may say "Hey Google, watch HGTV on Sling" (or any out there channel you need to see!), in addition to command controls like "play," "pause," "skip ahead 10 seconds" or "cease" (however why would you ever need to cease Slinging?). On the Nest Hub Max, you may also pau-se and resume content material on Sling with Fast Gestures by holding your hand up and looking out on the gadget.
One caveat right here: Whereas Chromecast has (and continues to) work simply superb, the deeper Nest Hub integration is ready on just a little server-side motion from Google, so to straight join your Sling account similar to some other supported third-party account. Should you use, say, Spotify, along with your Nest Hub, that is precisely what we're speaking about. Similar factor. (After which there's the matter of really onboarding of us — Google already has directions for that, although.) Sling tells us that ought to occur over the subsequent few days, so hold in there.
After that? You can say issues like "Hey, Google — watch CNN on Sling TV" to your Nest Hub, and it will plop it up on the display screen, similar to it might probably presently do with YouTube TV. Very cool.
