I don't like how cumbersome the interface on our 722k for BB@Home. I wish we could actually do a search for a movie after selecting we want to search for the free titles. Netflix makes searching and STREAMING so much easier. We can't even stream with BB@Home.

Not me when I had them. All the Tuesday New Release, I move them to the top and they never send them to me on time. I waited weeks and months, still no show. I decided to cancel them for this service and go back to the Redbox, Blockbuster machine.

Well yesterday I got an email from Blockbuster saying that my Toshiba blu-ray player will no longer have Blockbuster on it. So no more streaming the latest hits to the dvd player. Another sign that Blockbuster is in it's last days of operation. I see it being closed out by the end of this year. DISH is losing to much to keep it going and the fact that they only have the blockbuster@home open to their own subs, means that their is no room for it to grow to outside customers.

Blockbuster by mail does need to improve. The streaming threw my receiver is nice when nothing else to do.

Two BB stores have closed recently in the local area, leaving only one. This isn't looking good for BB long-term...

I'm very unhappy with Blockbuster. I didn't receive a movie this week even though I have 30 titles in my queue. I've been with Blockbuster for over 5 years and never had this happen before. I refuse to order a pay per view which is what I suspect they want from us to make up for the short movie. I told them if this happens again, I'm gone from Blockbuster for good this time.

I also very rarely do ppv for the simple reason that the HD offerings are absurdly expensive (Dish PPV). In fact, I won't do BB@home PPV either...I pay enough as is...

It's not so good. I'd opt out but I like the Epix channels.
Never use the service to order discs.
Once in a while I'll use the streaming.
Ho hum. It's just not that good.
Roku much better. HBOgo is much better.
I really think dish could have done a much better job then the current model.
I like to stream but dishes interface is slow and clunky.

I had Blockbuster for years. I can honestly say that when Dish took over, it was the biggest drop in service I have ever experienced. I do not know if they just got swamped by new customers, my dvds come from some other location or they dont realize they need more than one copy of a dvd.
I am just now getting dvds that were released 2 months ago. BB will tell you that you have to keep availible titles in your queue. The fact is they are all available at one time, getting them to send them, while they are available, is another story. I have seen available titles sit for over a week and nothing sent. At some point the title will then go to the wait status. That is inexcusable service. Then to say it is the customer not keeping the right titles in their queue, just makes it worse. Like I said I have had BB for years. There were occacional waits but currently 10 of my 11 titles are in wait status. Considering I add about 2 new release titles each week it comes down to a 5 week wait for a dvd. I too keep the service because it comes with the channels I want. I rent the majority of dvds through redbox. Removing dvds after I get them at redbox is why I have only 10 dvds in wait status.
All in all it appears that Dish bit off more than they can chew on this one, as it has definitely taken their service rating down in my case.
