Sling TV adds nearly 200 international channels

Sling TV is adding almost 200 international channels in 18 different languages to its expanding lineup of programming.

Previously known as DishWorld, the company — which announced earlier this week that HBO would soon come to its internet streaming service — will be renamed Sling International. It can be accessed through any of the pre-existing Sling TV apps or the new Sling International app.

Users will need to sign into a Sling TV-supported device to get started with setup. However, select Samsung Smart TVs are still expected to make the switch from DishWorld in the coming weeks.

Updated language groups include Bengali, Kannada and Marathi. These join the many other language groups which can be added in your account subscription settings.

"Sling TV grew from the foundation established by DishWorld, enabling us to test, grow and improve our OTT capabilities through a service that streams tens of millions of hours of content every month," said Roger Lynch, CEO of Sling TV in a statement. "Incorporating DishWorld into the Sling TV portfolio makes it even easier for viewers to get the best of both domestic programming and the shows and sports they love from overseas."

Subscriptions for those in the U.S. start at $15. New customers will have a chance to try the service with a one month free trial.
