BB@ Home disc By Mail Ending September 19th

[Scott Greczkowski]

So can I cancel BB@H now and get that $10 a month taken off my bill? I have no need for it without the disc mailing portion.

Then you will lose a bunch of HD channels if you do that. I wouldn't do it myself, and always thought of the discs at home an extra free bonus.

One more day left, will be different not going into the local BB to exchange a disc

It's a MIRACLE!

We have shipped Stargate Atlantis: Rising to you. You should receive it on or around Saturday, September 21, 2013. If you have not received it in three days, use the Report link in your Queue to let us know.

Thank you for being a valued DISH Network customer.



Got the above email today! Happy, happy, joy, joy!

Congrats!

I got the email about the 2 PPV's for the next 3 months. That is a nice gesture.

 

[ashutto20]

I have not received an email. ..any ideas why???

 

[navychop]

Maybe for some reason you're not getting the offer. More likely, it just fell thru the cracks.

 

[david_jr]

Got mine today, 1 per month. Boo, hiss.

 

[TheKrell]

Huh. I guess you're a B customer. I get 2/mo for 3 months.

 

[salyavin]

I got 2 for three months as well. Nice guesture.

 

[TheKrell]

Looks like I won't get any final disk to keep. Unless they will still ship it tomorrow (or later), which seems very unlikely.

 

[smakovits]

Did they already take the website down?

 

[TheKrell]

Yup. That's the only thing they did promptly!

 

[harshness]

I received my 2 for 3 e-mail on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[marciano027]

If a person is paying the extra money to receive two or three disks at a time, does that mean they get to keep two or three disks?

Does somebody knows the answer?

 

[satjay]

Good bye Blockbuster@Home, disk portion it was a fun ride

 

[lazydogmot]

Sure.

 

[jerryez]

I have a disc in the mail to me. Can I still exchange it at my local BB store for one more movie to watch. I do not want to keep it or the one that I might get at the store. Just watch and return.

 

[salyavin]

I'm curious about the same thing jerryez, if you try it please post.

If I login through the blockbuster.com site I still see this:
[h=2]ONLINE SUBSCRIPTION[/h]
[h=6]SUBSCRIPTION PLAN[/h]

• Blockbuster @Home
  
• 1 at-a-time, Unlimited mailings
  Unlimited In-Store Movie Exchanges
  

interesting they got rid of the blockbusterathome site but have not updated this yet.

 

[navychop]

Did they already take the website down?

Yup. That's the only thing they did promptly!

Which is a darned shame. I wanted to print an image of my queue for future reference. Sigh. And I had three tabs open with discs of interest. All now just show the standard shut down message:

Well, now wait a minute. I'm confusing myself.

If I look at On Demand, I see 19,945 titles. I can pick BB@H, or TV shows, or TV series, etc. I guess the BB@H titles (which don't seem to be identified as such) are all "free" - included as part of the $10/month fee, along with the 21 channels. If I drop BB@H, I presume all, or nearly all, free On Demand movies go away, leaving just the for-fee ones. Exactly (well, roughly) how many movies/TV shows are left available if you drop BB@H? I can't seem to separate them out on my Hopper.

Or do I misunderstand the system? Maybe the BB@H titles stay, just become for-fee?
