I read as much of this thread as I could. I read the first 25 pages and then the last 3. I am a current Blockbuster by mail customer with 2 discs at a time and a Dish Platinum subscriber. I also have Netflix streaming only. I understand that I will probably have to cancel my Blockbuster subscription and then make a new one through Dish.
We have a 722k in the family room but that is not where I currently do most of my streaming. My family uses that room and they don't stream at all. I have a brand new Toshiba 46" 1080p LED tv with 3d and a bluray player with a 5.1 system that I use for streaming in my man cave/sports room/basement. That setup is connected to a 211k with EHD. I know I can't use the 211k for the blockbuster streaming but both my Bluray player and my TV have wifi with Blockbuster, Netflix, and other apps built in.
I know people who use Blockbuster's current streaming option where you pay by the movie can't sign up for the Dish/Blockbuster service yet. My question is can those of us who make an account through the Dish/Blockbuster service use other devices that already have Blockbuster streaming built in use those other devices with this new service? There are plenty of TVs, Bluray players, smartphones, etc... that have Blockbuster apps already. If we can't use those with the new service I don't see myself using the streaming much. I will still get the plan because it is the same price as I am paying for just the discs currently.
