    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    My first disc shipped 10/3 and said it would arrive 10/5. It arrived today right on time.

    Blockbuster Movie Pass performance thread

    Exact same thing happened to me. I think they sent me my #5 or #6 in my queue even though my top titles said available NOW. I increased my willing to wait time to 2 days, but I'm not happy about it. My only consolation is that I don't consume movies as fast as I used to. Pretty lame though...

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    Yep, if you like the Netflix streaming you should definitely keep it, the Blockbuster/Platinum stuff does not replace it content wise. I realized I wasn't using Netflix streaming and since the price jumped I dropped it too. The so called Blockbuster streaming on Dish is a name change only and...

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    I auto-payed Netflix the October money at the end of September and the Netflix rep on the phone on Saturday was fine with giving me a refund. I think my billing date was Sept 27 or 28. So what I meant was, just because it is October now, you can still cancel and get the October money back as...

    On Friday I was paying Netflix $16 for 2 discs out at a time with Blu-Ray access. Today I'm paying Netflix zero because I cancelled on Saturday and that was SWEET. For those of you that want to cancel your Netflix sub but think you have already paid for October, they told me you have a week...

    Streaming with Blockbuster Thread

I also think simply providing a better looking interface would do wonders to enhance the user experience even if it didn't change the steps necessary to stream a movie. On my 722 it just looks so old and nasty, and yet I...

    Streaming with Blockbuster Thread

    I agree completely. I was impressed by the integration of the pause, play, forward, back controls that I'm used to with my 722 DVR, and the picture quality and sound was excellent while watching a few of the new release HD selections. Much better than the controls I had with Netflix streaming...

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    Great answers, thanks. But I would say my question about the Brick and Mortar stores is relevant since I'll be returning discs there under the new service as a Platinum sub. I'm opted in and getting at least one disc anyway, if I choose it, right? So I need to return it somewhere if I want the...

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    I’ve read all of the posts in this thread up to now and my assumption is that Platinum package subscribers pay no extra charges for a new 1 physical DVD out at a time service, and we get a streaming service with BB branding. Let me know if I’m wrong. Here are my questions: Will the new BB...
