Sjónvarp Símans used to be free to anyone living in Iceland but switched to a premium subscription channel in 2009. In 2015, after Skipti, the former parent company of Síminn and Skjárinn, merged with Síminn, the channel switched to a mixed subscription model. Watching the linear broadcast is free but a subscription option called Sjónvarp Símans Premium offers more content then the linear broadcast, such as a library of old shows and series, shows what have not been aired in the linear broadcast, movies and more. On 1 June 2016, the channel's name was changed from SkjárEinn to Sjónvarp Símans, to reflect the revolution the channel and Síminn itself had been through since the merger of Síminn and its sister companies.{{Cite web|url=https://blogg.siminn.is/index.php/2016/06/01/skjareinn-verdur-ad-sjonvarpi-simans/|title=SkjárEinn verður að Sjónvarpi Símans|date=1 June 2016|website=Símabloggið|language=en-US|access-date=1 June 2016}}
