    Large number of Blu-ray failures?

    The difference is that Blockbuster does not have anywhere near the number of copies of a disk that they need to support their current demand, and they never replace worn out copies. There simply is not enough disks to go around!

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    I have finally had enough of Blockbuster at Home! Almost every disk that I add to my queue has a wait status. Even the disks that are listed as 'Available' take weeks before they finally ship. Dish's disk at home service has become totally useless. With the current level of horrible service, I...

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    The situation is still getting worse for me. I mailed back a DVD on March 21st. It took 5 days before Blockbuster emailed me that they received the disk... then it took until April 11th before they mailed me the next DVD. That's 3 weeks until they shipped the next DVD! (I finally received it 2...

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    I have the same experience. I mailed in my last DVD on 01-08-13, and it has taken until today for the status to change from "We are processing your next shipment" to "processing". It has been over three weeks, and they still have not mailed my next disk! I have about 10 DVDs in my queue and...

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    This is a new record in slowness for Dish...I mailed in my last DVD on 01-08-13. Two weeks have gone by and my queue still reads "We are processing your next shipment". Wow, what is going on?.

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    That is when Blockbuster notified you that they received it, but I doubt if it really took 6 days for the USPS to return the disk.

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    I am in the same boat...I mailed in my last DVD on 01-08-13. A whole week has gone by and my queue still reads "We are processing your next shipment". Wow, that is really slow service. The last couple of disks arrived fairly quickly. I wonder why turnaround time varies so much from week to week.

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    It seems to have gotten worse... Five days ago, I received the email confirmation that Blockbuster received my returned disc. It has been over a week since I mailed back my last rental and they still have not mailed out my next disc! There are 5 movies in my queue that are 'Available'. Why are...

    Can you only stream on dish network boxes?

    The Blockbuster app that is on your TV (also on many media players) is only for pay per view movies. It is not for streaming the way that a Dish receiver does it. Unless you want to pay for every movie that you watch, it is useless.

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    After waiting about a week and a half, Blockbuster has finally shipped me a disk...and the disk was number one in my queue! What is strange is that there were 3 disks in my queue of 16 that were 'available', however they waited and shipped me the first disk in my queue which was listed as 'very...

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    Yes...it used to work like that for me too, until about a week ago. I wonder if Dish is starting to throttle down mailing out to customers that use over a certain amount of disks per month? I hope not!

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    Coach Knight, Yes, that is how Blockbuster worked for me up until now. As I said, out of 16 disks in my queue, 3 are listed as available however nothing has been mailed out for about a week. All my selections are DVDs (no blu-ray). Hartford Ct is the distribution center for me and mailing from...

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    Until now, I have been very happy with Dish's Blockbuster offering. When I sent back a DVD disk, Blockbuster would send out another one fairly quickly. Usually, I would send a disk back, and the next day Dish would mail out a new one. Occasionally, it would take an extra day for them to mail out...

    How long do your movies take to arrive in the mail?

    I agree that the turnaround time depends on where you are located and how far away the distribution center is. I live in eastern Connecticut and for me the turn around time is the same as it was for Netflix (which I have now dropped). I mail the disk...Blockbuster gets it the next day and mails...

    request for opinions -- netflix vs BB

    I have had Netflix for years, but after their price increase, I checked out Blockbuster. For me, disks shipped by mail come very quickly and is just about equivalent to Netflix. However, Blockbuster gets new movies quicker and they have a lot more new movies than Netflix (...just check out the...

    Delivery by mail

    I guess a lot depends on how close you live to the distribution center. Here in Connecticut the distribution center is in Hartford which is centrally located and pretty close to any city in Connecticut. When I mail back a movie, blockbuster gets it the next day and mails out my next movie. I...

    does blockbuster actually offer free streaming content in the dishonline plan?

    Blockbuster does have streaming if you have a device that supports it. If you go to the blockbuster web site, there is a button called Activate Device. Selecting that allows you to activate a media streamer. Personally, I have a Western Digital Live Plus media streamer that I activated. However...

    Streaming with Blockbuster Thread

    Thanks a lot for the information dangue. You're right...that is not what I wanted to hear. I was hoping that Blockbuster streaming would work similarly to the way Netflix streaming works on my media player. I have absolutely no interest in streaming pay per view movies.

    Streaming with Blockbuster Thread

    Yes, the Blockbuster Movie Pass has been activated on my Dish account and I have a few movies in my queue. I never had a Blockbuster account before. My Dish account uses a user name and a password. When I try to activate my Western Digital media player, the blockbuster site wants me to sign up...

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    I guess it takes a couple of days for the menu to change. For 2 days after receiving L688 the menu still said Dish Platinum. However, I just turned on my receiver, and now the menu has changed to 'Blockbuster Movie Pass'.

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    I also have L688 on my 722k, and it still says Dish Platinum on the menu interface. There is no mention of Blockbuster Movie Pass anywhere on my 722k.
