Yes, I agree that their strategy has to include TV, and since there are other providers with so much TV content, I wonder what they will be able to provide that no one else has but shows people want. I found Redbox to have too limited of a selection when I would look since I had seen a lot of the big movies already, or, they didn’t carry all of the biggest movies. I have my DISH coworker over with his family a lot and so I need access to unlimited movies any way I want to watch. I get that convenience with my DISH Blockbuster @Home, along with over 100,000 choices by mail, streaming in my home, or, on the go with my iPad. That kind of convenience and choice helps me enjoy the media that makes me happy, more often.
