A few clarifications.


  1. Sling TV will not appear on a Mac as it only made for iPhones, iPads and Apple TV and the Sling developers have not allowed it to be used on Mac.
  2. Macs do not run iOS, they run macOS. macOS 12 Monterey has nothing to do with the Sling TV app iOS version requirements.
  3. It should Appear for your Apple TV in the Apple TV's own App Store app the Apple ID logged in to the Apple TV box is set to the US.

  4. It will not appear if your Apple ID set to another country as its not available outside the US.

I do not see the Sling TV app.
My region is set to United States and VPN location is Washington DC.
What else affects the see/don't see?

I can see the app on my W11 with the given link.
Thanks.


As I said, it won't appear on a Mac's Apple Store app at all. Regardless of what region you have it set to or VPN you are using.


If by W11, you mean Windows 11, then it won't appear there either, as there is no Sling app for Windows.
