Dish Network offers first on-line portal integrating live TV


ENGLEWOOD, CO – Dish Network has unveiled the first on-line video portal with live TV integration.

Called DISHOnline.com, the portal allows customers to watch live TV plus all of their DVR recordings, free with their paid subscription.  Using a robust search engine, customers may also browse for content by title, network, actor or genre.

“DISHOnline.com integrates DISH Network’s expansive TV programming lineup with the vast amount of on-line video content, adding another dimension to our ‘pay once, take your TV everywhere’ product platform,” said Dave Shull, SVP of programming, in a statement. “DISH Network is committed to offering an unrivaled experience that satisfies our customers’ need to consume video in a variety of new and exciting ways.”

Non-DISH Network customers can also view the thousands of free video selections available for instant streaming through DISHOnline.com.  DISH Network subscribers can access “enhanced features” once they log in with their existing on-line account information.  Live and recorded TV viewing is enabled for customers with a ViP 922 SlingLoaded DVR or the upcoming Sling Adapter.
