I really think you shold upgarde the service by mail.

For me I don't know if I have bad luck or what, but it sucked.



Look. Last time I returned the movie on the 9th, and never get confirmation of BB receiving it.
Then I did the option to Report a Problem last Tuesday, the 15th and they sent me an email that they will sent the next disc in my queue as soon as posibble... and no one was sent. Today I get an email that they finally received the disc that I sent back on the 9th, and just after that they sent the "next disc in my queue"... but it was like the number 9 I had in my queue. Not even the first, nor the second, but the 9th title that I had on the queue.:mad: I don't even want tha movie anymore... but haven't deleted yet form the queue because it was too low on my list that I didn't think they will send me that one.

I really wanted to cancel the service since the first day when the store close to me closed after getting BBMP, but I cannot cause I have to pay the $5 cancellation fee... fro something that isn't even working as it is supposed to....

I can understand some people's frustrations and complaints, but the way I see it is, this whole BBMP thing is a 100% freebie for me as I was already paying $10 a month for HD Platinum and had been for years. I still get the same channels so all the BB stuff is just gravy.

Tried it for 30 days then dropped it. I really subscribed more for the movies-on-demand feature than for DVD rentals. The user-interface on my 722k to find movies to watch was slow and clunky and the selection of movies didn't interest me. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it just didn't work out for me.

I think it's improtant to keep in mind that no one offers anything else like Dish. No company is giving you this much for $10/mo. Extra Channels, Movies and Video Games=Awesome.

I felt the same way. Had the fee been $5 I might have kept it. But we never watched the 20 odd channels that were supposed to be such a great deal and downloading (not streaming as they advertise) the movies was laborious, tedious, and just made me wanna cus. And that all so great 100,000 movie selection? Well unless you wanted to wait two months for a movie to become available on disk and deal with the horrible lag time through the good ole USPS...well as I said had it been $5...

I am a Dish retailer and a customer. I pay for their service just like everyone else on here. I still feel it's a great deal. I do not compare it to Netflix though, at least not yet. I may actually add the Netflix streaming capabilties just because I have so many devices that can stream it. I don't think you can deny the fact that everything Dish is giving you for $10 is bad. It may not be what everyone wants but for those who do want it, it's a great deal.

I haven't really had any issues with the by-mail service, so far. It is a tad slower than NF was. But, as a new customer, I am only paying $5 for 2-disc plan. NF 2-disc BD plan was like $17 or 18 IIRC. Plus, Dish Platinum Pack of channels, which I watch a lot, is normally $10 by itself. So, I am getting $28 worth of entertaining crap for $5. Well worth it.

BTW, I kept NF streaming, as it is easily worth $8 to me. But, if Amazon Prime VOD had a better UI, I'd drop that, as well.

Can't argue about that... BBMP is a bonus and you are not forced to use it. I don't know why so many people complain.

Not only do you get streaming and DVD by mail, you also have access to console games... something Netflix does not offer, and even if they did, they said they wouldn't be offering older games.

I can understand some people's frustrations and complaints, but the way I see it is, this whole BBMP thing is a 100% freebie for me as I was already paying $10 a month for HD Platinum and had been for years. I still get the same channels so all the BB stuff is just gravy.

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....

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.

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.
