BlockBuster@Home trial

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Does BlockBuster@Home have a free trial like NetFlix or Amazon Prime?

I think I messed up when I replaced my ancient 525 with a 722 last year. Someone told me if I had asked I could have got a 3 month trial. At the time I didn't even know it existed.

I believe you can get it for $5 (half price).

Can anyone post how to do that?

I'm not even trying to save money on the package. Just use it for a few days to see if I want it. According to CS chat it would cost me $15 to try it for any amount up to 30 days because in addition to the $10/mo, there is a $5 termination fee.

In a chat or call, ask current promotions for blockbuster@home

 

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Thanks. Even better than I thought. Only $5/mo for a full 6 months and no fee to cancel. The chat rep said it would be $5 total at most if canceled in the first month. It sounded like it would be $2.50 if canceled in half a month.

I'll know in a day if i want to keep it. I suspect I will.

Thanks for the tips!

Cancellation fee is always $5, they do not prorate it.

Don't cancel in first 30 days

Yeap, if you do, it will be the $5/mo charge + the $5 downgrade fee. Cancel on day 31 and will cost you $5 for the first month and about $0.16 ($5 divided by 30 days - the pro-rated amount).

It is easily worth the $5/mo.

Indeed.

Indeed.

IMO, it's the best value on Dish. Altho, half-price Showtime is pretty sweet, too.

Other than one two original series, Show rates well below Epix and HDnetMovies in my book, even at half off.

Yes. Dollar for dollar, BB@H is the better value.
But, for fans of numerous Showtime series and exclusives, $7/mo for six months is a sweet deal.

What is included in Blockbuster@home ?

Plus it adds a ton of On-Demand stuff, including Starz, which is in HD when you view it On Demand, even though it's SD on channel 353.

Starz on demand is a very nice feature with BB@Home.
