So Dish decided to add 'Movie Pass' without my permission and add $10 to my bill. What a scam.

If you paid for Platinum that is really all the Movie Pass is...Platinum with Blockbuster added

Dish Platinum is now called Blockbuster Movie Pass

Here is a link to threads with questions about it

So Dish decided to add 'Movie Pass' without my permission and add $10 to my bill. What a scam.

:facepalm

did not ask for anything that adds $10 to my bill ... yet Dish did it .. like I said, without my permission. I could care less about "Movies'

Dish Platinum was renamed Blockbuster Movie Pass. If you were paying for Dish Platinum before, your monthly price would be the same.

If you would like me to remove it, please PM your phone number or account number

Did you have the Platinum pack before?
That package included channels like Pixl, Epix1 & 2, MavTV, HD Theater, Palladia, Logo, Sundance etc
Scroll down about 1/2 way thru the page to see the full list
Blockbuster - DISH Network (http://www.dishnetwork.com/blockbuster/faq/#faq)

If you did all they did was move it to the BB movie pack which kept those channels and added BB option.

If you dont want it, just PM Matt and he can remove it. It isnt that hard to do :)

This is hilarious

I think he is referring to the New Customer offer? Free for the first year? I could be wrong though.

Just saying, Dish added 'Movie Pass' to my account without me requesting it. Had I not checked my account online they would have billed me an extra $10 per month.

Actually they just changed the name of the package and added disc rental by mail and streaming to the pack for the same price. What would you have done if it had stayed the same name?

You could save yourself $10/mo by going to auto pay. Then you get HD for Life at no charge.

If you were never getting HD Platinum before then I would say it got added to your account somehow and Dish should remove it for you. Now, if you were getting Dish Platinum for free as per their old promotion and did not cancel it then you would see that the name changed to Blockbuster Movie Pass and you are now being charged $10 for it. I guess everyone needs a little more information to know for sure if Dish made a goof.

Blockbuster Movie Pass is a very good deal for most but not for all, especially if you're sensitive to the cost. The deal with Blockbuster is a great price, especially since it include blu-ray and games. Throw in 20 extra channels from Dish and you're getting a lot for your money. If all that's included in the package does not equal value to you then cancel it. Give Dish a little credit here. You don't see DirecTV or any cable companies offering anything like this.

This thread has become a joke. I'm convinced there was no such *extra* charge added.
