I loved it when I heard the news of my TV provider/employer DISH Network purchasing Blockbuster! I think it was a great idea and I can't wait to see what they bring to the table for their customers. I've always loved Blockbuster so gladly as a DISH Network subscriber made sure to take advantage of their Blockbuster by mail free for 3 month promotion. It's been great!
