    get half price Blockbuster @ home for 6 months , YMMV

    I was offered this via the website when I went to cancel my BB@H service but to me the channels aren't even worth having at 50% savings. So I reevaluated (term used on channel 198 when they removed Cloo, which is another channel I never watched) the programming and removed it from service since...

    BB@ Home disc By Mail Ending September 19th

    I have no problems streaming from Prime or Netflix, just Redbox. It's actually been a couple months since I've attempted to use the streaming part of Redbox so things could have changed but I imagine it's unlikely. The last movie I watched on Redbox Instant was an movie in SD format and the...

    BB@ Home disc By Mail Ending September 19th

    Right now I do subscribe to Redbox Instant and I'm frustrated at the streaming quality (not about the titles but more about the fact that I have a 30/mbps line and I have buffering problems all the time with Redbox Instant. So I've ran the math numerous times in my head and really if you have...

    BB@ Home disc By Mail Ending September 19th

    Actually it's exactly like Netflix, but just with less content (Netflix pretty much has the same streaming content; EPIX) just stay with Netflix or just rent movies straight from Redbox without the "instant" portion. Nah they will get their made for tv/dvd movie Ghoul back, I don't want it...

    BB@ Home disc By Mail Ending September 19th

    I'm betting he received a 1/2 off deal with a Dish CSR. The Epix channels outside BB@H are only $7/month. I pay for Starz! already (about to cancel since they ended Magic City but I'm on the fence because of the Outlander series Ronald D. Moore is doing on Starz!) and EPIX can be acquired for...

    Anyone have any luck with getting video games?

    I never had any luck with blockbuster with video games, even before the blockbuster buyout. I do believe that new titles are released through Blockbuster mail service three months after they are initially released and that they don't order as many games as hit hollywood movies and that makes a...

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

    I had a really good experience on my last movie. I mailed a movie out on Wednesday and received my new one by Saturday.

    Where the Heck Have All the New Releases Gone?

    I know the Dark Knight Rises is a Warners Bros. release but I'm not sure about the other two titles. If so they might be on a 28 day delay like NetFlix has agreed too in the past for "cheaper" rental DVDs.

    List your Distribution Center!

    Apparently they shut down the Cleveland, OH Warehouse(?) The return address on the last three blurays that I received are from Lansing, MI. This really sucks since I'm in southeastern, ohio.

    How many people are happy with Blockbuster @ Home?

    Man, Dish Cinema's price seems so wrong when I went to my movie theater and watched a 2-D matinee for $6.50

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

    I'm in SE Ohio and the warehouse is in Cleveland and the service is getting really slow. The service is either getting really popular with Dish Network subscribers and they can't process the discs fast enough or all the cut backs are slowing down the system. (I'm thinking it's the second one)...

    BB Blu-rays - Bad sectors on purpose?

    I've had a few issues with some blu rays not playing the last two minutes of a given chapter but the last three or four movies i've gotten have played through beginning to end w/o issues. Now I sent out a movie on Tuesday and blockbuster still hasn't sent me an email saying they've received it...

    BB liquidating rental BD stock??

    I'm sorry but I have to disagree. Bluray is so much better than streaming a movie in HD. Anyways I just figure that they will do away with the blockbuster locations and just become like NetFlix.

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    I'm not to frustrated about it because the XIP receiver will take care of the problem when it comes out. But yeah all DRM does to the consumer is frustrate them while the pirate is still streaming and downloading the same shows we can't watch on our own tv through our own dish receiver.

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    Anyone using a Vip 722 able to watch any of the Blockbuster/Dish Streaming VOD content via TV2 or is it only useable through HDMI. The reason I ask is I used to watch Hoarders on A&E through Dish Ondemand in SD and it worked on TV2 up to last month, now when I try to watch the SD content on TV2...

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    Yeah my calculations wasn't anything other than a quick guesstimate between the cost of dish platinum hd and regular blockbuster mail order 2 disc at a time service at $14.99/month. Thanks for this information. Greatly helps, I never thought to clear filters and yes I agree, it should be all...

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    You can, but the only "Free Stuff" is basically all the Dish Platinum (now labeled Blockbuster Movie Pass) & TV Show content. All the blockbuster movie pass is to any dish subscriber who had the PlatinumHD package is a physical disc rental medium. When the kinks are worked out it will be great...

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    I'm having a great time trying to increase my plan back to two at a time (or maybe 3 at a time) Am I correct that It's basically Dish Plat. & 1 Disc at a time for $10 then each additional disc is $5. Right now i'm getting the run around, the faq says to call dish (1-800-333-3474) and when I did...

    Ghpr13 found this information for you. Looks like you can link your membership then call dish customer service to add your second disc. I also seen something mentioning options online under My Programming Ala Carte to add additional discs but no option was available yet to the end user. From...

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    I saw the same thing when I signed up but I don't think there are a multiple disc plan for Movie Pass. When I sign up it converted me over to one disc at a time from 2 discs at a time. (something I wanted to do anyways since I'm just keeping Blockbuster service for game rentals) My concern is I...

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    So Update: Just noticed that Platinum HD is gone from the HD section of My programming and has been replaced with Movie Pass under the Premium section(and is checked marked on my account) so I am assuming that means that I'm subscribed to the movie pass feature already. So one would assume that...
