Answer this question, Verizon's Select HD in DISH

I keep seeing the Verizon "skinny" pack mentioned, but other than an IP stream, what is the difference between SlingTV and Verizons Skinny deal? Besides Dish being smaller,cheaper, and not requiring the addition of 2 packs ontop of the base

I think you've mentioned the differences above. The only other difference is that the programming applies to the entire household so more than one person can be viewing. Isn't SlingTV just one viewer? I don't see the Select TV package listed so I guess they've dropped that one which was a good one that omitted sports and still provided a lot of programming. The way Verizon has the packs configured, most won't be able to get by on the 2 pack minimum. Want a news channel, that's a pack. Want some entertainment, that's a pack. Want Disney, that's another pack. Etc.
