ESPN+ is therefore among the top channels for broadcasting hundreds of live events and on-demand material from the global sports scene. Still, at this point, the ESPN+ service cannot be directly subscribed to via Dish Network. You have several choices as a Dish subscriber to access ESPN+:
Dish Login with the ESPN App
If you are a Dish provider, the simplest way to subscribe to ESPN+ is to use your account to sign in to the ESPN application. Here are the steps:
1. Subscribe to ESPN+
ESPN+ is available for subscription on its website Esp plus. com or through its mobile application. Here it is for $9. 99 monthly or $99. 99 yearly.
2. Install ESPN App
ESPN app is available for download on any mobile device and other streaming devices like Roku, Firestick, Android TV, and more, ensure that you have the most current version of the app.
3. Only choose Dish as Your TV Provider
Next, open the ESPN app on the device and navigate to the Settings section. In the “TV Provider” section, select Dish Network.
4. Please sign in with Dish Credentials
To get access enter your Dish customer email and password. This connects your Dish subscription with the ESPN app.
5. Access ESPN+ Content
It means for example, if you watch ESPN+ content in the ESPN app, so long as you are still signed in, you will be able to watch ESPN+ content. This includes live games, original shows, documentaries, etc.
With the ESPN app, you can watch ESPN+ content on any supported device if you sign in through Dish. However, it does not subscribe ESPN+ to your real Dish satellite television service.
Watch ESPN+ Through Hulu
The second way to get ESPN+ with Dish Network is to sign up for the Disney bundle on Hulu. The Disney bundle comes with Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+ for $12. 99 per month with ad support and $19. 99 per month without ads. Here's how to get it: Here's how to get it:
1. Sign up for Hulu
You can either opt for the ad-supported plan at $7. 99 monthly or the no-ads plan at $14. 99 monthly.
2. Add The Disney Bundle
Navigate to My Account and pay the additional $6/- to subscribe to the Disney bundle which would cost either $13. 99/- or $19. 99/- per month.
3. Access ESPN+
It means that you can now sign in to ESPN+ with Hulu login details to stream ESPN+ content within the ESPN app and on Hulu.
The benefit of accessing ESPN+ through Hulu is that in addition to watching ESPN+ content on the ESPN app, you can use the Hulu app. It may also be to offer a more contiguous viewing experience.
What users should remember is that by connecting Dish and Hulu you give one service your login details of the other which some people may not like. However, for the majority, the benefits of getting a ride from a taxi or any other online car service overshadow that little inconvenience.
Use Air TV with Sling Orange Service
If you want ESPN+ integrated into your overall Dish package rather than having to use a separate app, there is now a solution. AirTV also allows for the integration of Dish programming with Sling TV streaming service. Here is how it works:
1. Purchase an AirTV 2 or an AirTV Anywhere Device
These devices enable you to combine streaming services with OTA antennas. As you will see, to have this functionality, you will need an AirTV box for every television that you want to allow it for.
2. Learn how to connect AirTV to Dish setup.
Connect your AirTV device to your home’s wifi and your Dish Hopper. This makes it possible for the on-screen channel guide integration.
3. Subscribe to Sling Orange
Sling Orange offers many cable networks including ESPN. On its own, it is $40 monthly.
4. Add Sports Extra Package
Sling offers a separate add-on package called Sports Extra that costs $11 more per month and includes ESPN+.
5. The Dish Interface should display all the contents of the program.
Once AirTV is connected, you can watch live programming from Dish satellite service and Sling streaming services all through the Dish channel lineup. There needs to be an easy transition from watching Dish to watching ESPN+ programming without switching inputs or apps.
The total cost will be almost $50 monthly to make a Dish package do what ESPN+ does. However, it gives the most overlapping integration without the need for a dedicated streaming application.
In Summary
While ESPN+ is not natively available with Dish Network currently, Dish subscribers still have good options to access ESPN+:While ESPN+ is not natively available with Dish Network currently, Dish subscribers still have good options to access ESPN+:
- To unlock ESPN+, sign in using your Dish login in the ESPN app.
- Combine Disney package with Hulu service
- Dish can be bundled with Sling Orange + Sports Extra packages using an AirTV gadget.
Both have their advantages and disadvantages based on how eager a user is to cross-pollinate accounts between streaming services and what level of channel guide integration is desired. It’s important to note, though, that any Dish customer can enjoy a wide range of great ESPN+ sports content regardless of which of these options you use.
