Blockbuster@Home

[BruceE]

Can anyone tell me if you can have this removed from your bill. I do not rent movies from Blockbuster & I don't want to spend $10.00 a month for a service that I never use.

Thank you,
BruceE

Yes, this is an optional service that you are currently subscribing to. It can be easily removed by calling Dish, signing into your account online, or contacting a member of DIRT in this site. Keep in mind that this channel package has nothing to do with renting movies from Blockbuster, but rather is a package of about 20 channels and a slew of on demand movies.

Contact a D.I.R.T. member. They will help you.

Keep in mind this is a slate of channels and not renting.

The renting of discs was discontinued about 1 month ago. BB@Home now has about 20 subscription channels and streaming. You should make sure you do not view any of the channels before downgrading.

If you have a DVR like the hopper connected to the internet you can get some free on demand programming as well as others for a high fee. One of the nicest parts is I discovered you get access to Starz on Demand even though you only get Starz Cinema channel through blockbuster@home (not the full Starz package which is an additional fee).

To re-emphasize what has been already said, the package of channels existed before the BBAH branding, priorly known as the Platinum package. It was already a popular option BEFORE Dish sweetened the pot with BB.

Since it ain't BB @ Home any longer, why doesn't Dish change the name of the package to something more relevant like the Platinum Package. I don't consider ON Demand movies@ home either.

I am thinking since they bought the brand and trademarks they might was well keep the branding for that piece

They bought it for the name itself! Sure, BB has nothing to do with the service now, but they own the rights and the implied backing that it comes with. Kind of like when SBC bought out AT&T, but stuck with the name AT&T because of image (which is mainly negative... but at least familiar).

BB on dish is an incredible value, I'll keep it if it stays @ $10, I find the movies there way better than the ones on the other premium channels and keeps me away from nat-flicks.

It becomes an even better deal when you go online and attempt to cancel it. The system will offer you 6 months at $5.00 if you keep it.
