Echostar to buy Sling Media
Cory Bergman September 25th, 2007
The parent company of the Dish Network, Echostar has announced it’s buying Sling Media for $380 million. As you probably know, Sling Media makes the Slingbox, a nifty place-shifting device that allows you to watch your TV’s programming anywhere on your laptop or mobile device. Sling Media says having Echostar as a parent company won’t change the interoperability of its products with set-top boxes made by Echostar rivals.

why is b&c calling sling a ‘lifestyle-products’ company?
that sounds like a insult to what is a truly disruptive technology.
