Verification notes
Sling TV is a live TV streaming service. EchoStar's website (checked 2026-10-13) describes EchoStar as "the parent company of DISH Network, Boost Mobile, Sling TV, and Hughes Network Systems"; DISH Network has a separate entry (dish-network). Sling's Help Center articles and Terms of Use (https://www.sling.com/offer-details/disclaimers/terms-of-use) render only in a browser, so on 2026-10-13 only their headings could be read: the Terms of Use, the help-article answers, the support phone number and chat hours were not checked. Values here come from Sling's home page, checkout billing page, offer details and account page.
