Prepaying for a year of conventional TV programming with DISH Network only yields a free month. I can't imagine expecting 8 free months.

If you go through Blockbuster, I think the cost of BBMP is $14.95/month.

Thanks everyone. Earlier in this thread people were indicating that the $40/yr was for existing subs. Check post #149, etc. I think the deal was for new subs only. They would get Blockbuster Movie Pass for free for one year with the $40/mo Top 200 package or above and a two year contract.

Thanks!

OK, I wasn't paying attention and now there are 90 pages in this thread. Sorry I'm too lazy to go read them all now.

Is this a fair recap of what has changed?

- Since I was already subscribing to Platinum, and now see "Blockbuster Movie Pass" instead of "Platinum" in my account, I now have access to the Blockbuster 1-disc-at-a-time by mail and/or local store, for no additional charge. I just need to go ahead and complete the signup and start using it.
- The ViP622, 722 and 722k support the online streaming so I should start using that too.
- I still get all the same channels I used to call "Platinum."

Yes Pepper, that's about right. A couple of comments: signing up for BB at Dishnetwork.com is a one button (on your My Programming page) affair, if you already had Platinum. If you didn't have Platinum and want to sign up for BBMP first, that is about 4 button presses. ;) The 622 (and 612 and 922) don't have the adaptive streaming update yet, nor the new BBMP menu item. But you can still queue up movies to download, and then watch them almost immediately. (I tried this on a 612, as well as the 722 w/new menus.)

If you click on the BBMP ad at the Blockbuster website, it just takes you to Dishnetwork... it should not cost you $14.95.

As an update, and after some 2 months of use, BMP is working fine. I don't find the movie select menu as slick as NF or BB mailings quite as fast, but overall find it worth $10 a month compared with almost 2X the cost from the red guys.

Who says dinner or lunch has to be the only good meals of the day?

Honey butter grits with scrambled eggs and grilled boneless pork ribs on flakey biscuits washed down with cranberry juice.

Cold morning today, only 32 degrees. Fired up the oven and made cinnamon rolls (from a tube) and a pot of coffee.

I like the Jimmy Fallon channel. This will be its third year. I like that it's all fresh each year. Also fun when he pops on live from time to time.

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.

They will have to look at the switching sections to determine WHY 2 trains were on the same track ... at the same time.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
