Dish Network knows how important it is to see all of the biggest hits on the big screen at a fraction of the cost on the small screen. They have combined with Blockbuster to create Blockbuster @Home and offer the largest selection of movies, shows, and games available.
If you prefer games, you can get a great selection regardless of what format you prefer. You can get games for Xbox, Xbox360, Playstation, and Wii.
Dish Network bought Blockbuster in 2011 so you can get both services for one payment. You can find out which titles are available and which ones have a wait and whether it is a short wait of 2 weeks or a long wait that can be over 6 weeks.
In addition to Blockbuster @Home, Dish Network offers a wide variety of movie channels for subscribers. HBO, Cinemax, Starz, and Showtime are some of their biggest movie channels. They are often used in special offers to new subscribers free for so many months to give people a chance to try them out. They are included with the America’s Everything Pak, the biggest package that Dish Network offers.
Each movie channel has multiple channels so you can get the most movies possible. HBO has 9 separate channels, Cinemax has 4, Showtime has 9 channels with 5 of them in HD, and Starz gives you over 600 movies with their 8 channels.
Whether you are a serious movie buff who can name every hit movie and leading actor from the last ten years or a casual moviegoer who records the occasional hit for a quiet evening at home, Dish Network has the best selection to suit your tastes. You can find a package that fits every level of cinema lover.

Netflix has been both heralded and heckled for its announcement to split the company into two different companies: Netflix for DVD-by-mail and the new Qwikster for online streaming.
Many have speculated this is to ramp up for an online streaming merger with Amazon, or to even move entirely to online streaming as DVDs are quickly pushed into technological oblivion.
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has a history of making unpopular choices that pay off for the company, which is excellent if your primary concern is for the company. What about the customers?
Neflix estimated Q3 subscribers are separated as:
9.8 million subscribed to streaming.
2.2 million subscribed to DVD-by-mail.
12 million “hybrid”, subscribed to both streaming and DVD-by-mail, despite the recent up to 60% price increase on this option.
Clearly Netflix’s customer base is interested in a one-stop solution to entertainment, a place where they can stream and order DVDs by mail, as evidenced by the fact that half of them still subscribe to both services despite the price increases.
How can Netflix expect customers to be willing to not only pay more, but have to deal with two different companies, two different bills, two different customer service departments, two entirely different services? Isn’t the point of online entertainment supposed to convenience and ease of access?
Blockbuster Total Access still allows you to browse 100,000 titles for online streaming, DVD-by-mail, even in-store exchanges, all in one place. Even video games and Blu-ray discs are included. And you can get many new releases 28 days before Netflix.
What are you waiting for?
Already a DISH Network customer and still want to enjoy to convenience of Blockbuster? You can enjoy an extended 30-day free trial to Blockbuster Total Access, offered to Netflix users who want to say hello to Blockbuster!
