HIDIVE channel (SlingTV)

So I was going through my menu and there it was. Maid-sama is on (eng dub). I can't even find out anything about it on the googles. Or on the Sling site. But it's there. I have the orange pack.

If I understand you correctly, you want to know more about the series?

Original Japanese name - Kaichou wa Maid-sama!

Misaki Ayuzawa is a unique phenomenon within Seika High School. In a predominantly male institution, she became the first-ever female student council president through her honesty and diligence. Ever since Misaki got promoted to the position, she has been working tirelessly to ensure a better school life for all girls. Despite that, Misaki is very strict with the boys, which has earned her the title "Demon President."

One day, after hearing a girl cry in the hallway, Misaki encounters Takumi Usui—the most popular boy in the school—as he rejects a love confession. Enraged at what she is seeing, Misaki reprimands him for making the girl cry. However, Usui is indifferent and brushes it off as nothing.

Unexpectedly, Misaki soon runs into Usui again, but this time when she is working at a maid cafe! Embarrassed that someone has found out about her secret occupation, Misaki promises herself not to let Usui destroy her reputation. However, the mysterious boy now begins to visit the same cafe regularly to observe and tease Misaki. When push comes to shove, will Usui still be able to keep the president's secret?

26 episodes aired originally in 2010, plus 2 short bonus episodes released as extras in 2010 and 2011.

The story sounds familiar, and MAL says I have watched 6 episodes, but...

and it's not listed on HIDIVE as far as I can see.

No no no. The streaming service HIDIVE now has a live TV channel on Sling TV. Sling is s live TV cable alternative. Since I have both Sling TV and HIDIVE, I was surprised to see the channel.

This post was just to inform people of the new channel and maybe get some info. Maid-sama was just what they were airing at the time. Right now it's Bloom Into You. Also in English.

Also, my bad. I reread the OP and I clearly wasn't clear that I meant the channel.

Ah. I see.

Unfortunately, Sling seems to be a US only service atm, as I keep being prompted to set up a VPN when I google it.

As far as I know VPNs are legal this side of the Pond, what some people use them for however, is obviously NOT legal so be very careful.

I was really just letting people know that the channel now exists. I'm not sure if it is Sling exclusive or what? Like I said. Google was no help. The channel appeared last night. I'll prolly DM HIDIVE or Sling. It could be a preview of a future pay channel???

Found this...

It talks about the channel being added to Plex. But it is indeed the channel I mean. Seems like it's a freebie.

That link goes to ANN.

I'll have to check to see if Plex is available through my Fire stick. I remember seeing the logo when I was flicking through things earlier looking for Roku.

Update - Yes, I can get Plex. No, there isn't a HIDIVE channel available. They have a general heading "Gaming & Anime" but there are only game related channels.
