Dish Network’s streaming service has less than 500,000 subscribers

With more than 43 million subscribers in the United States alone, Netflix has set the bar pretty high for other streaming services. Obviously, nobody expected Dish Network’s own streaming service to come anywhere close to that number, and Dish hasn’t disclosed any official numbers, which is a bad sign by itself, but numerous estimates and reports indicate that Sling TV’s subscriber count is currently less than 500,000. That’s lackluster by any measurement, and to make things worse, the number of new people signing up for the service is reportedly shrinking.
