    So does BB@Home still deserve its own sub-forum?

    Isn't it sort of like giving Multi-Sport its own forum? What is the point anymore? The most revolutionary part of BB@H is gone. The crickets are going to only get louder here.

    PAC12 HD - thank you DISH

    It would be nice if that were true. Right now, there are 3 games going on over the Pac-12 Networks, and DISH is only showing 2 of them, channels 413 and 5454. Their guide shows the games shouldn't overlap, but of course they do, and when they do there is no way to watch the game that is starting...

    BB@ Home disc By Mail Ending September 19th

    I was thinking of keeping the movie I have at home, like the message suggested, but I'm also thinking that I will drop BB@H and add Multi-Sport+RedZone in a couple of weeks. My question is: If I drop BB@H before Sept. 19, do I have to return the movie, or do I still get to keep it?

    ESPN 3D Shutting Down at Years End

    How true -- there was a post here about ESPN-3D shutting down several days ago. It got moved to the 3D forum (a place I had never visited on this site), where some of us continued the discussion with our thoughts on the ESPN move and the merits of the technology in general. Then we got bawled...

    Is 3D TV dead? ESPN 3D to shut down by end of 2013

    Is the point of 3D to make the viewing experience more real? Because if it is, I think it fails. I don't hate 3D, but to me it detracts from reality rather than enhances it. I can enjoy a short 3D film as a cool gimmick (like at a museum), but it makes a movie less real to me, for some reason...

    PAC12 Network online activation now working for DISH subs

    It's a much better picture online than we get from Dish-SD :) Since Dish turns on the HD channel for all Pac-12 live sports, including soccer, water polo, volleyball, & etc. throughout the day, I don't understand why they don't just have the HD channel active all the time? Sometimes they have...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    He wasn't talking about AMC. He was talking about the channels they are forced to carry in a bundle with AMC: IFC, Sundance, and WE-TV. Charlie said he would like to carry AMC if he could get it without being required to carry the other three. Read the source article.

    Pac-12 Network

    Didn't DISH carry the Big-10 Network from day one? I remember getting that channel before they moved it to the Sports tier for those outside the Big-10 area, so DISH was offering it to everyone at first. It would seem really biased if DISH generously accommodated Big-10 fans but ignored Pac-12 fans.

    Blockbuster problems, I sent the dvd back, and it has not shown as return, an email by customer serv

    I emailed BB@Home support last Thursday and finally got a response today (Monday) apologizing and saying they have cleared my queue. They also emailed a coupon for a free rental at Blockbuster.

    Blockbuster problems, I sent the dvd back, and it has not shown as return, an email by customer serv

    I emailed customer support a day and a half ago, and so far no response of any kind, not even the auto-response "we have received your message" type. Meanwhile, my queue is blocked with 2 erroneous "in-store pickup" discs in my "At Home" section, and my local Blockbuster store says they are...

    Blockbuster problems, I sent the dvd back, and it has not shown as return, an email by customer serv

    Last Friday I mailed back a game I had received in the mail -- I just checked my queue today to see whether they got the title back yet and saw that it shows I have 2 (!) copies of "Chronicle" at home from my local Blockbuster store. My last exchange at my store was for "Chronicle", but that was...

    New Problem, anyone else seeing this?

    I had a store return that didn't trigger the usual email confirming the return, and when the movie was still listed as "At Home" on my queue the next morning I called the BB store and the manager apologized and corrected the problem on his computer while I was still on the phone. I usually don't...

    Video games via BB Movie Pass

    I've kept the 2 PS3 titles I originally put in my queue as a curiosity (never expecting to get either of them in the mail) and they always have a status indicated, but it's almost always the "Wait" ones. They are Red Faction: Armageddon and Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage. Fist has never...

    $6.99 pay per view

    I might order PPV from Dish if they would at least price match Amazon Instant Video! Both my Dish Vip622 and my Panasonic 55" plasma TV are connected to the internet. I can either order a PPV rental from Dish, or my Panasonic "Viera" TV can connect directly to my Amazon Instant Video account...

    How many people are happy with Blockbuster @ Home?

    I hope they don't close all the Blockbuster stores in my city, because the trade-in program is the only way I get to see recent movie releases. When I noticed all the top movies in my queue had red next to them ("Short Wait","Long Wait","Very Long Wait") I decided to add an old movie I had...
