Dish's AirTV launches an $80 streaming stick for accessing Sling TV, Netflix & broadcast channels

Dish is expanding its hardware lineup today with the launch of a new 4K streaming stick, the AirTV Mini, designed to make it easier for cord cutters to access from one user interface its live TV service Sling TV, plus Netflix and over-the-air channels. The Android TV-powered device is meant to complement an existing setup that already includes an OTA digital antenna and an AirTV Wi-Fi-enabled network tuner, the company says. For a limited time, new and eligible Sling TV customers can get the latter two items for free -- an AirTV Wi-Fi-enabled network tuner and an indoor antenna -- by prepaying for three months of Sling TV's service.
