…expanding content to computers through a new application, improving its viewing flexibility and by debuting new programming. Launched in May, DISH’s over-the-top IPTV international channel service was initially available only on the Roku platform.
“We’ve made significant enhancements that expand consumer choice and control, and we expect customers to be particularly pleased with Mac and PC access to DISHWorld content,” said Chris Kuelling, vice president of International Programming at DISH. “Subscribers simply go to the DISHWorld IPTV website, create an account and download an application to watch their favorite international programming on their computers.”
In addition to the increased accessibility, DISHWorld launched Family View, a feature that allows customers to watch content on up to three devices at the same time, without the need for multiple accounts. “For each account, a customer can add up to two additional devices, including the newly-launched Mac or PC app, for a monthly fee of $10 per device,” said Kuelling.
Expanding its existing content to a total of 72 channels in seven languages, DISHWorld introduced 20 new, live channels:
