Officially, this is Sling TV&#8217;s &#8222;What&#8217;s Hot&#8221; feature for sports.<br \/>\nOf course, whether a game is hot for one individual may not automatically mean it is also hot for another. This is where Thuuz comes in.<br \/>\nSling also confirmed the new What&#8217;s Hot feature draws on Thuuz for background information. Thuuz uses data science to rate the 'excitement level&#8217; surrounding a sports event. These ratings are then used to inform viewers of which sporting events are hotter than others. In other words, which sports events are particularly worth tuning in to.<br \/>\nHitting both mobile and TV Sling TV<br \/>\nOccasionally. Sling TV announces new features that are hitting one platform before another but in the Android world, that&#8217;s not the case here. The new What&#8217;s Hot feature is rolling out to both Android mobile and Android TV.<br \/>\nIt is also rolling out to Amazon Fire TV devices as well.<br \/>\nThe rollout started today although that doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean all compatible devices will see the update arrive today.<br \/>\nUsers can check to see if the feature is live for them by navigating to the &#8222;Sports&#8221; tab in the top menu bar on Android TV. Or on Android mobile by tapping on the Sling TV app&#8217;s menu (top left corner) and then selecting the &#8222;Sports&#8217; option.<br \/>\nA sports version of trending<br \/>\nSling TV announced a similar feature in June. Back then, the feature was labelled as &#8222;Trending Live&#8221; and looked to help users identify content that&#8217;s live and trending.<br \/>\nThe difference, Trending Live was more of a catch-all solution. What&#8217;s Hot not only focuses on actual live events, but is also tailored to sports viewers, specifically.<\/p>\n<p>While slightly different, the underlying motivation is the same. Both Trending Live and What&#8217;s Hot focus on data collected by others to inform the viewer. This is a slight deviation from most interfaces which tend to focus more on the user&#8217;s preferences and viewing habits.<br \/>\nFeatures like these suggest Sling TV is moving in a crowd-sourced direction in a bid to make it easier for viewers to avoid missing out on topical content.<br \/>\nSling also today announced that for a limited time those who sign up and pre-pay for two months of Sling TV can get a free AirTV Mini device.
