I think the other than premium channel streaming is going to be limited, until they can build it up. Maybe thats where that new Data Center comes in. For me, just the Plat Channels + mailer movies makes it a no brainer.

I was about to question your calculations, but I'm dumb this time. I'm actually thinking the same logic with Netflix. $22.98 for Netflix streaming and 2 Blu-Ray Discs + $10 for Dish Platinum = $32.98/month. Now with this $7.99 for Netflix streaming only and $15 for 2 Blu-Ray discs with BBMP = $22.99/month. A $9.99/month savings
I have not signed up yet but wanted to look at what would be available for streaming. As others have said, it looks like just stuff from the Platinum channels. Is there any confirmation that the BB streaming content will be added? If it is just streaming of Platinum channels that seems to be a no-sale for me. Was planning on dropping Netflix.
What are you paying for with netflix? You might break even, and just get the BBMP streaming as a bonus.
The menu foolishly defaults to setting a filter that limits it to displaying only Platinum films. You have to click "Clear Filters" to see it jump from 3000 to +5000 entries. A BIG, BIG error by Dish!
Someone needs to fix this - now.
The entire interface is a clunky, slow horror.
Scrolling through 1,000s of films taking 20-30 seconds to (sometimes!) display 5 unneeded movie graphics at a time is a major pain.
Having to do it alphabetically is unacceptable,
DISH - get it fixed.
Im sure itll get better. I like the cleaner look of the Blockbuster Movie Pass site, vs the BB Online site.
Just activated my BBMP account and added two movies to my queue, one not yet released and one avaliable now. Also have a BB store about 3 miles from my home.... :up
I logged onto my Dish account this morning and linked BlockBuster....it was quick and easy.....GOOD JOB Dish !
I'm jelous Cosmo, I have to put on my bullet proof vest to go to the two BB stores in my area, both almost 7 miles away and two cities over.
Also, are they seriously charging $2.99 to see the Brady Bunch Movie? That's like paying $2.99 to kicked in groin by a donkey.
i just activated BBMP and it wont let me log in to add movies to my queue. still says i need to sign up.
I had a problem logging in at first also, but after clicking around within my account, a screen came up to log in to BBMP.
Yea I had problems getting it to work at first.I went to my account at DISHNETWORK.COM and clicked on complete registration.It then took me to blockbuster online page.I had to keep on clicking but I finally got.I added FAST FIVE to my Q IN BLURAY.
No problem signing up, had my BB account on hold, now it appears to be active and my queue of 48 movies is still showing.

Zach told me no problem on changing to 3 out at a time for $20, just had to PM DIRT my account info.
AWESOME!
AWESOME!
I nominate this for post of the year! Great catch on the "clear filters"!!!
A little more... it isn't a mistake by Dish on the "clear filters". When you clear all filters, you are just seeing the entire VOD library, free/ppv.
Although, there are 3107 free films after you clear the filters. If you choose the "Dish Platinum Select All" there are 3001 free films, so while the number bumps up by nearly 2000, most of those appear to be Pay For on demand.The menu foolishly defaults to setting a filter that limits it to displaying only Platinum films. You have to click "Clear Filters" to see it jump from 3000 to +5000 entries. A BIG, BIG error by Dish!

Yeah my calculations wasn't anything other than a quick guesstimate between the cost of dish platinum hd and regular blockbuster mail order 2 disc at a time service at $14.99/month.

Thanks for this information. Greatly helps, I never thought to clear filters and yes I agree, it should be all text based, no graphics. Half the time the graphics stop loading for me and my dish receiver starts to freeze up on a 10 mbps internet connection.
