Misryoum points out that Sling Orange is designed for one-device streaming. while Sling Blue supports more simultaneous screens. and the combined Orange + Blue option raises that capacity further.
For fans locking in Wednesday night, the simplest path is to pick the pass that matches how long you plan to watch, then make sure you’re set before puck drop on TNT and truTV.
