    BB@ Home disc By Mail Ending September 19th

    Had Snitch and couldn't decide if I should send it back and hope or just hang on to it. Decided I didn't like it enough to care so back it went. Got an email the next day saying Identy Thief was on it's way. Probably will have to keep it, getting too close to the deadline.

    BB@ Home disc By Mail Ending September 19th

    Business as usual for me so far. No program ending email. Just sent back a disc a couple days ago and received a new one. Wasn't near the top of my queue though - Snitch.

    get half price Blockbuster @ home for 6 months , YMMV

    Thanks. I had done this once before, never thought to try again. Still may cancel completely once the discs stop. We'll see. My self imposed TV limit is $100 a month, I'm slightly over that with the 1/2 price HBO deal. Had to have that for GOT, wife likes True Blood as well. I think Boardwalk...

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

    Same for me until very recently. I haven't gotten a disc in almost 2 weeks now. I got the "we have received xxxxx" email followed by "we are working hard to bring you your next selection". Several discs in my Queue are "available" too. A few are showing up on HBO before BB ships them (most...

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

    Thanks! Never knew you could do that. And Disc 3 is only "Medium Demand" so maybe I'll even receive it someday in the next month.

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

    I hate how they handle multi-disc series. There's no way to specify an individual disc. I watched all but the last 3 episodes of Shameless Season 2 during Comcast's free online On Demand preview last week. Would like to just grab Disc 3 of the set. But BB makes you start at disc one. So I'll...

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

    If you go to hackingnetflix they list the new releases with a link to them at Netflix. There was another site that would add them directly to your queue when you clicked on them but I can't remember the name of it. Dropped Netflix when they separated discs and streaming and started charging for...

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

    It really changed for me about a month ago. I used to get either the first or second choice in my Queue, all BluRays, without fail. Now I still get something but it's usually around 10-15th in my list and an older title. Anything released in the last couple of months shows a wait of some sort...

    Large number of Blu-ray failures?

    If you look at the disc usually you'll find a scratch. I've only had 2 problems since they started the disc at home service. One disc came broken in half, the other had a very visible scratch.

    I Don't Understand BB@Home

    My disc service is getting worse all the time. I was happy with it up until a month or two ago. Saw lots of complaining in here and couldn't see what the fuss was about. I always received either the first or second title in my Queue, and always BluRay. Now the first 7 titles I have all show a...

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

    Weird how inconsistent they are. I have no problems at all. 3 day turnaround on pretty much any title, same as I got with Netflix. And I do Blurays only. My biggest problem is finding something I want to watch, and then actually making the time to view it when it arrives.

    Blockbuster problems, I sent the dvd back, and it has not shown as return, an email by customer serv

    Yeah, somethings definitely changed. I never had any issue before and always received my next disc within 4 days of mailing the previous one back. Would get email confirmations of each as well (they seemed backwards as I'd always get the "we have shipped the next disc" email before the "we have...

    List your Distribution Center!

    Worcester MA. Great turnaround time, and I usually get the first title on my list (all Blu Rays). Just got Haywire on the Thursday after release.

    Removing BB@H

    Sorry you're having trouble receiving disks. I will refrain from replying to your asinine comment that not getting around to watching a disc is tantamount to "fraud". ;) Better luck in the future.

    Removing BB@H

    I have only Bluerays in my queue and have few problems receiving disks. I often don't have time to watch what I get. Still have The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo sitting in the entertainment center, and received it on release day (a couple of weeks ago). Hopefully will get around to watching it...

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

    I haven't noticed any difference here. Still regularly getting Bluray titles from near the top of my queue, if not THE first selection. Got The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo on release day. Haven't found the time to watch it yet. So subs like me probably don't help.

    How many people are happy with Blockbuster @ Home?

    I thought I'd do my wife a favor and put "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" at the top of my queue. So she tells me yesterday that she wants to read the book first, which she's already downloaded into her Nook. So I go into my queue last night and move it down. Wouldn't you know it, just got the...

    small complaint about blockbuster

    I regularly receive discs that were labeled as "Short Wait", so that doesn't really concern me. I wouldn't plan on getting "Hugo" anytime soon though.

    Wow. What are the discs? New releases or something old and obscure? I have no problem getting something from my queue as soon as I return the previous disc.

    If you're having trouble receiving discs now

    It might get even worse. A Blockbuster store that's closing was handing out flyers detailing how to get 2 free months of Total Access instead of the standard 1 month trial. I'm sure it was supposed to be a targeted offer to those in the area of the store, but somebody posted the flyer up to the...

    How many people are happy with Blockbuster @ Home?

    I'm happy with it. Was already paying for Platinum and had dropped Netflix during their huge price increase fiasco. I get the same turnaround time as I did with Netflix. Usually works out to 2 Blurays a week (extra $$ with Netflix so I never got em'). I've never not gotten SOMETHING from my...

    moviepass hd download

    I haven't had much trouble, but it was doing something similar when I tried one of the Boardwalk Empire Episodes. Kept counting minutes both up and down. I went and watched something else (live) for awhile and when I came back it was available for immediate playback. Wasn't in "My Rentals" at...

    Update?

    Pretty sure mine went from Blockbuster Movie Pass back to Dish Platinum and then finally to it's current BB@Home. No change in functionality that I noticed.

    Bluray Titles LONG WAIT and NOT AVAILABLE in Store ???

    How many titles in your Queue? I have around 15 and have never failed to receive something once my previous disc is returned. Might not be the #1 selection, but usually something in the top 5 at least. My biggest problem has been finding decent movies to put in the queue.

    $10 charge for block buster?

    Works fine for me, once I can FIND something to stream with the clunky interface. Just finished up Season 2 of Boardwalk Empire before my free HBO/Cinemax runs out.
