Yes, DISH Network partners with satellite and high-speed internet providers throughout the United States to offer internet to DISH customers everywhere.
DISH works with partners to offer cable, fiber, and satellite internet to customers throughout the United States. However you connect, you can do all the browsing and streaming you like.
Streaming services like Hulu and Sling provide video over the internet, which can be either live or on-demand. In cases like Netflix, all of the content is on-demand — there's no live TV like news or sports whatsoever, and most local channels aren’t even an option.
Cable and satellite services, on the other hand, provide live television and video on-demand without internet — in the case of cable, through thousands of miles of cable run primarily underground, and for satellite, through signal that's beamed directly to viewers' homes. There’s no internet required and no bandwidth issues that can lead to buffering. Since streaming always requires internet, cable/satellite have a leg up on them with their direct-to-home signal.
You may think that it's a choice of one or the other, streaming or cable/satellite, but that isn't true — with DISH Anywhere, viewers can stream thousands of hours of content, including everything on their DVR, to their mobile devices anywhere they have internet connection.
