The Future of Television: Dish Network’s New IPTV Service
Dish Network, now simply known as Dish, is revving up the entertainment landscape with the introduction of its new internet television service, ignited at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show. This comes as a game changer, particularly for those who are still stuck in the clutches of traditional cable. No more squabbling over the remote during family movie nights!
Streaming Made Easy
This innovative IPTV service will run independent of the usual Dish packages.

Channel Lineup and Pricing
Dish’s new streaming service will kick off with a handful of channels, with plans to expand as the service grows. For just $20 a month, it’s poised to offer an attractive alternative to your standard cable subscription. Just think of all the money you’ll save for those impulse buys on snacks while binge-watching!
Bitcoin: The Currency of Choice?
In a bold move highlighting their eagerness to adapt to changing times, Dish began accepting bitcoin payments in May 2014, harnessing the power of Coinbase to process transactions. With more than 14 million subscribers, a significant portion of whom are likely to be enthusiastic about cryptocurrencies, Dish’s decision is all about giving users choice and convenience.
“We always want to deliver choice and convenience for our customers and that includes the method they use to pay their bills,” said Bernie Han, Dish’s executive vice president and COO.
Indeed, it seems Dish is tuning into the reality that Bitcoin is becoming a more popular transaction method for a segment of the population.
The Shift Towards Online Viewing
As reported by Wired Magazine, internet viewing is not just a trend—it’s a wave, and it’s steadily closing the gap with traditional cable. The market is shifting, and companies like Dish are making strategic moves to ensure they ride the tide rather than get swept away.
Stay Tuned for Updates!
Though an official launch date for the new service hasn’t been announced yet, updates will be available on the SlingTV website. So, for those eager to jump into the world of IPTV and bitcoin payments, it’s just a matter of time before you’re riding this wave of technology!
