Blockbuster and Dish tip for current subscribers

Just found out today that if you are currently a Dish Network customer and also subscribe to Blockbuster by mail service you can link your account save $ and get extra channels as part of this new feature.

First make sure that your Dish Network and Blockbuster email addresses are the same.

Then go login to your Dish Account and select My Programming.
Select Movie Pass and submit the change. You will then be asked to verify and link your Blockbuster account. Your queue and all your Blockbuster settings will be migrated. The cost for 1 DVD at a time is $10 and you will also get additional channels:

This is pretty cool considering I already had both services separately and linking them together gives you more features, channels and possibly savings..

If you have Dish but no Blockbuster account this a a good deal as well. You can add this to your account the same way as described above to start this service and get the extra channels. I already liked Blockbuster better than Netflix and this integration with Dish makes it even better.

Another thing is if you activate any compatible device (Android, Blu-Ray Player, TV, etc..) with your Blockbuster account you get $5 posted to your acct right away so you can use it towards any movie you like.

 

Yeah, everything sucks, Dish, Direct, Comcast, ATT...
Thanks for your opinion and input.

 

I setup the compute repair site long time ago to see if I can make some extra cash. People did call and email and it was actually too much for me and none of my lazy friends wanted to earn extra cash so I stopped. I set the prices WAY lower than all other places though, so maybe that's why so many people called. I forgot that I still had the link in my signature -- removed

 

It says you can get more DVD's instead of 1 at a time and yes it will cost more. Still cheaper than Netflix and also cheaper than Blockbuster used to charge before being bought by Dish.

You also get online streaming with this.

I only had 1 DVD at a time with Blockbuster so this deal was really good for me. Monthly fee went down to $10 instead of $12 and I get 20+ more channels and streaming and one bill instead of 2.

Here are the extra channels you get (yes..some are crap but to those who already have Blockbuster or were going to get it as stand-alone service..this is a bonus)

Centric HD
Crime & Investigation HD
Encore Suspense
EPIX HD
EPIX2 HD
HD Theatre
HDNet Movies
Hallmark Movie Channel
IndiePlex HD
LOGO HD
MAVTV HD
MGM HD
MoviePlex
Palladia HD
PixL HD
RetroPlex HD
Sony Movie Channel
Starz Cinema
Sundance
Universal HD
World Fishing Network

 

In order to get these extra channels you have to add the Movie Pass feature through your DishNetwork account. This feature gives you the Blockbuster by mail (1 DVD or game at a time) and unlimited store exchanges - its $10. It says you can upgrade to 2 or 3 DVD's at a time as well by going to the "A La Carte" section through your Dish acct under programming.

 

They had this feature before but all it gave you is the 20+ extra premium channels -- which you said you already have so that explains why you have Movie Pass.

 

I don't see it either. Their FAQ says it should be there.
Going to ask them and will let you know what they say.
