Blockbuster at home without DVD service

[blackcat1]

After being away from Dish for a couple of years, I'm back with Dish. My free 3 month subscription for Blockbuster at home is about over and I am thinking about dropping it. Is there a way I can get the 20 additional channels that come with Blockbuster at home without the DVD service? All of the Blockbuster stores that were close to me are now closed so I don't get the benefit of exchanging DVD's and the speed of the mail service is slower than Netflix. I do like some of the additional channels, but that's all I care about. Also, if I decide to keep Blockbuster at home, what is the best way to get Dish to offer me the best price they can?

Just don't use the DVD part of it. Are you thinking it costs more for both, it doesn't it's all one package. The best way to think about it is the $10 gets you the extra channels, and as a bonus you have access to the DVD's. If you are a new subscriber I'm guessing you are already getting discounts so doubtful they will reduce the $10 to continue BB.

Sure,you don't have to get discs by mail.You might want to contact a Dirt member and see if they can get you a half off deal on it.

Yeah the dvd by mail is a freebie part of it. Those channels BEFORE the dvd by mail came into play was $10 a month.

What DVD service? I haven't been getting service in months.

Yea looked at my que lately, high demand across the board. I put movies on the que that are not popular so I can exchange at my local Blockbuster, having one open is a huge help

Very surprised to see several medium demand ps3 games in my queue today.

If most or all of your first 10 movies are listed as "high demand" it delays the shipping of the next disc. Moving a few titles listed as "now" should help.
