If we drop BB@H, we lose the 21 channels. Given. And the discs by mail is now history. What does that leave? Well, it leaves the streaming titles, no? And are they streaming, or downloadable? I notice the Dish site says "streaming" but I recall downloading a single free title and seeing it under "Rentals." Didn't watch it in time and it expired.

If I look at On Demand, I see 19,945 titles. I can pick BB@H, or...

When I sent back a DVD disk, Blockbuster would send out another one fairly quickly. Usually, I would send a disk back, and the next day Dish would mail out a new one. Occasionally, it would take an extra day for them to mail out a new disk.

Suddenly, now this has changed. I have 16 DVDs in my queue. Almost all of them are on some kind of wait status, but 3 of them are listed as 'Available', yet Blockbuster has not mailed...

Several months ago I re-added bb@home to my package. For some reason I can not log into bb to add dvd's any more. I see that there are movies in my que but when I click onto the que button it sends me to a log in page and nothing happens. My log in has never changed.
Well I have called dish up at least 5 times and blockbuster even more. They can not link the two accounts. I don't know what to do or say at this point. They did credit me and gave me bb for 1/2 off. I really don't care...

I went on mydish about 10 mins ago, and changed my plan, but when I go to the BB@home from the link at the top in my account page, it doesnt accept my dish user id and password.

I checked netflix instant and it wasn't available. I rarely use blockbuster streaming, but I checked it for Rocky and it showed Rocky 1-5 available in the free/subscribed section. When I clicked onto each Rocky title, it showed that HD was free and SD had a fee. But when I clicked on the Free HD button, it said that it wasn't a subscribed channel. What's the deal with that- if it's not subscribed then it shouldn't come...

If you don't like it, don't choose it... ;)

Instead of having the bundled channels + discs mailed to us, give the option to separate them. My wife queued up discs a while ago and has pretty much forgotten about them. They still show up, of course, but no one cares. The newest Pirates of the Caribbean has been sitting on our kitchen table to 3+ weeks ! I actually cancelled the service last year...

Dish's channel lineup and other documents don't say and only indicate that Starz Cinema is included in the channel lineup. I can find nothing official at Dish's site that lists any VOD and what it takes to get it.

So is all of Starz HD VOD free included with BB@Home?]]> 9 Large number of Blu-ray failures?
