Dish opens up Sling TV to all

US pay TV operator Dish TV has opened up its Sling TV OTT TV service to all who wish to sign up. The service, which until now has only been accessible to invited customers, went live yesterday.

Sling TV offers live access to 15 channels for US$20 (€18). In addition to the soft-launch line-up, which included the likes of ESPN and Cartoon Network, the commercial launch included a channel from YouTube multichannel network Maker Studios.

In addition to the basic package, Sling TV is offering access to three additional packages covering news, kids and family content, and sports for US$5 each.
