New Blockbuster Service Won't Be Netflix Killer

[eddieroolz]

But on a positive note for Blockbuster, Netflix isn't a Blockbuster killer either.

[citation][nom]legacy7955[/nom]The only thing DirecTV has is sports. Sure there are a lot of sports fans but I think that they are so focused on sports that they have let the movie and regular entertainment aspect fall apart. Not to mention DirecTV is really outrageously priced once any special offers for new customers end. I'm dropping them next week.[/citation]

On the chart they should say "Actually has a good amount of HD channels" and DirecTV can be the only one with a tick.

...so basically Dish is just rebranding their existing download service? The 'streaming' to settop boxes isn't new, although I don't know if they offered it previously at a flat rate like this. I think before it was more of a glorified PPV.

The combination of that with the mail service, particularly for games, might make it interesting. Or would, if I had a DVR.

All Dish needs to do now is steal NFL Sunday Ticket from DirecTV and it's light's out for DirecTV, as NFL Sunday Ticket is quite literally all DirecTV has going for it right now, and the only reason I'm still with them.
