Sling is owned by DISH. It’s basically DISH scaled down and without an actual dish.

TV execs call this "over the top" broadcasting. DirectTv Now seems the better deal to me in this space. Roku.com has a pretty good comparison page.

“Sling is owned by DISH. It’s basically DISH scaled down and without an actual dish.”

They are apparently cannibalising their satellite dish system as they have had the largest number of disconnects.

Charles William “Charlie” Ergen, the CEO of Dish, may be getting even with ESPN/Disney having Sling Blue without ESPN or Disney on the package. The not so great feelings between the Cable thugs and Charlie go back decades.
