FreeCast Optimizes DISH Network’s AirTV for National Distribution

FreeCast’s software and commercial partnerships pair well with
DISH Network’s AirTV hardware.
FreeCast is announcing a partnership with DISH Network, a wholly
owned subsidiary of EchoStar Corporation, to offer its aggregated
streaming software on AirTV 2 and AirTV Anywhere devices to serve
FreeCast’s commercial customers with a network-attached broadcast
tuner for blending streaming and over-the-air channels. FreeCast’s
software will work seamlessly with these devices.
AirTV 2 and AirTV Anywhere models have been optimized to work
with the same FreeCast software and broadcast-streaming
capabilities as the company's FreeCast Home device unveiled last
year. Together this technology brings in live local broadcast
channels and integrates them alongside streaming FAST channels,
making both channel types available on all devices connected to the
home’s network. In addition to hundreds of linear channels,
FreeCast features hundreds of thousands of free ad-supported and
pay-per-view TV episodes and movies, as well as the ability to
create and pay for a consumer-customized DIY TV bundle by combining
subscription services.
FreeCast CEO William Mobley discussed the benefits of both
companies working collaboratively. “We had a challenge supplying
enough hardware, while DISH had a compatible device but not the
FreeCast-like software solution to create that single-source TV
experience that customers are seeking. By partnering, we’re better
at serving FreeCast customers.”
