Dish Slings EPIX Online

Sling TV offers more than a dozen TV networks in its basic service including Disney-owned ABC, ESPN and the Disney Channel, as well as content from stations like HGTV and Cartoon Network. Most recently Dish added Univision and AMC to the basic Sling TV package. The company's existing add-on channel packs are sold for an additional $5 per month. (See Sling TV Will Sling Univision Too and Sling TV Flips Switch, Adds AMC.)

On the premium content front, Sling TV will soon have competition from HBO. HBO is scheduled to launch its own online video service sometime this year, and analyst firm Parks Associates has already predicted that 17% of US broadband households "are likely to subscribe."
