Dish owns sling (slingbox is the apparatus that allows for the transfer of the program). Once a stand alone device, it is now built in to their Hopper receivers. Their AirTV Player and other devices. Sling is their streaming service (much like DirecTV Now)

I believe with Sling Box you can those channels that Dish satellite cannot get right now.
