Dish Network Satellite TV will Launch 'TV Everywhere' internet site With 150,000 Videos.
Satellite Operator's DishOnline.com Offers Video Content, Lists and DVR Management.

Dish Network will provide users access to more than 150,000 video clips, uncut episodes and movies through DishOnline.com, the satellite operator's portal site for "TV Everywhere" content and other services set to launch publicly.

Broadcasting collaborators initially taking part in DishOnline.com include Discovery Communications, Scripps Networks, Viacom's MTV and Nickelodeon, Epix, Starz Entertainment, Ovation and Encore.

Like other pay-TV operators pursuing a TV Everywhere strategy, Dish Network's goal is to keep users paying for video services by expanding access to TV content across mobile and Web interfaces. Comcast, Verizon's FiOS and AT&T have set up their own versions of TV Everywhere.

DishOnline.com has been in a private beta test with a few thousand users for the past several months.

Of the 150,000-plus pieces of video content on the site at launch, about half are free to anyone to access.

In addition to video, Dish customers who log in to the site can remotely manage their broadband-connected DVRs to set or delete recordings, browse and search TV listings and 5,000 on-demand titles. DishOnline.com also lets subscribers with a ViP 922 "SlingLoaded" DVR or Slingbox watch live or recorded TV programs.

The site delivers video using Adobe Systems' Flash multimedia platform and uses Widevine Technologies' security and adaptive-streaming technology. Dish and EchoStar built the entire content-management system and the software to manage DVRs.
