    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    B-Stock, but is the remote supposed to have the 3 quick link buttons? Mine doesn't. Edit: Nope, answered my own question. I guess the cool remote is the optional replacement remote.

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    I had totally forgotten about this, but DISHWorld is on the Roku 2 devices. This might be somewhat of a kill two birds with one stone situation. Take the negative of losing AMC, placate with a Roku, and then use this sudden influx of Dish Roku users to try and get a few more DISHWorld...

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

    So is the number better, or would a chat be good enough? Is this a by complaint thing, or is it account based (aka I didn't get the email :( )?

    Blockbuster movie pass vs gamefly

    What a terrible idea. Redbox has practically no selection, costs more, and can't carry games for the portable systems. The trick with Gamefly is to have more then 1 at a time and just send one back when one arrives. Since games are more time intensive then movies, I don't really see the...

    DISH Hopper coming at CES ?

    How does that work? Is there some sort of marker at end of a game or is there someone at Dish watching the game setting it up in real time, or some other thing I can't conceive?

    DISH receiver is turning my 40" Samsung LCD off

    722 sluggishness, will it ever end?

    VIP 922 promotion

    Maybe emptying inventory because the 813 system is around the corner. Maybe announcing it's launch at CES in January. Or they decided they agree with those customers who say 722k + Sling adapter is better for the average consumer then the 922.

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    How does Blockbuster deal with tv show season sets and with single movies that come on two discs? I imagine I can just take one of the four or so discs in the TV show seasons and I would get both DVDs for the movie.
