If I'm away on a trip,for days at a time (or hours for that matter), and "live sports" or "live shows" are on, why would I go back home, record it, and save it to my phone, when I could just watch it live? Or watch directly from my DVR? WIth sling, I was able to watch an entire broadcast of the Tour de France "live", while in a car, 500 miles from home.

Either you are not aware of the benefit of streaming live TV to your phone, or do not care for the feature, but I do.
