Yesterday I got a survey from Dish asking for some feedback in exchange for an entry to win a Kindle Fire. So sure, took it. Turns out it was full of questions about Block Buster at Home. Looks like they are playing with the idea of pulling the in store exchange and the video by mail and...

bug... got about 1/2 the way through and decided to stop and watch the rest later. Press Stop. Get the screen that shows movies to select, but no movies there, and a message on the screen that says Processing your selection. Screen seems frozen. I press the View Live TV Button. Bam. 722k...

page by page by page Started up The Terminator tonight, looks like originating off of HDNet Movies. Started buffering right away so I checked. Stream is only coming in at just under 5Mbps. Slower than the 7Mbps I have seen typically, and the recent 10Mbps I saw the last time I streamed...

I have yet to ever see any bars indicating streaming performance. Perhaps they only show up if some minimum performance level isn't achieved when things start? I still see stuff I've previously viewed in My Rentals. Stuff that was weeks ago and something that was just yesterday. Watching a...

home electrical wiring is extremely non-standard. This leads to significantly wide variation in capabilities of the network adapters, even from one room or one wall plug to another. Most include some instructions that in the hands of a qualified electrician your home wiring can be tweaked to...

Hmm... I've never seen a "stream quality" box.

Streaming both SD and HD I see data rates across the port connected to the 722k averaging around 8.2 megabits per second(Mbps) aka 1.02 megabytes per second (MBps). My menu changed from Platinum to BBMP this morning. Watched The American in HD around 11pm Saturday night on the stream. No...

Last I heard from here, and based on my experience thus far, the only shows and movies available under the BBMP or Dish Platinum button are the same things available there prior to October 1st. When they start adding new stuff, that will be news.

I have the Free Starz thing still, as well as subscribe to HBO and Showtime. Some of these movies in my list may be from those channels. The list doesn't show the source and the only way you know is once the movie starts you'll see the banner for whatever channel the source is from. There is...

Not all on demand media is available for streaming. Avatar (in Spanish for some reason), Iron Man 2, Home Alone, Tron, all in HD, and all were available for streaming when I tested on my "Dish Platinum" 722k box yesterday.

500kbps is netflix's lowest quality.

Trying to start some streaming... 722k froze and reboot. That was after successfully streaming an HD show last night, and this morning. Went like this. Scroll through the filtered list (dish platinum). Find Iron Man 2. Select it. Select HD. Told it will be ready in 4 hours and 45 min...

Dish should enhance Dishonline.com so that you can select BBMP/Platinum shows. This would provide the opportunity for a much better interface and leverage the internet connected receivers.

Still no BBMP on my 722k. Under Dish Platinum, the only "channels" to filter on are: Encore Epix HDNet HDNet Movies MGM HD MoviePlex Pixl Sony Movie Channel Starz Sundance If you have the Block Buster Movie Pass, do you see more? I was thinking that with this deal we might see...

couple other thoughts. obviously no HBO. I assume dish will be adding a "streaming only" plan so that you don't have to have hardware installed to do streaming. I can also guess that Echostar is working on a new receiver box that will just do streaming to the tv, and maybe have OTA built in...

I guess my biggest concern is this is going to cause dish to either discontinue dishonline, or turn that into a market for blockbuster online cast offs. Effectively eroding the value of dishonline for the customer base that they have continued to increase prices on claiming they are adding value.
