There’s no mention of pricing in the press release, so we’re assuming it’ll be a free download, and the plug-in should be available “today,” although we’re not currently seeing it. You know, with the Sling relationship and now this deal with Archos, it kind of seems like Dish actually wants customers to view its content as they see fit — any of the other satellite or cable companies paying attention here?
