Satellite TV operator Dish Network will announce a new Blockbuster-branded all-you-can-watch video streaming service on Friday, according to a CNNMoney report.
The move for Dish to create a Netflix rival is hardly surprising. Dish acquired Blockbuster in a bankruptcy auction for $320 million back in April and a month later Dish CEO Joe Clayton said he wanted to “take a small piece of the pie from Netflix” when it came to streaming video.
This seems an opportune time to announce a rival, as Netflix — the leader in streaming movies — is hurting when it comes to consumer sentiment. First, the company instituted a 60 percent price hike on combined streaming and physical DVD rental plans at the beginning of September. Second, the company just announced that it will spin off its physical DVD rental service into a new company called Qwikster. Netflix customers were angry with the changes, so Dish already has a group of potential users it can easily court if it offers a cheaper price for comparable content.
Dish is also one of the companies said to be bidding for streaming service Hulu, alongside the likes of Amazon, Yahoo and Google. If the company were to control Hulu on top of its Blockbuster DVD-and-streaming plans and Dish at-home service, it would easily become an entertainment powerhouse in its own right.
Dish Network did not immediately respond to questions we had about the new service.

It's a USB smartcard reader / programmer based on a powerful ARM core processor.Here’s a tutorial to How to use Smargo cardreader with CCcam on linux receivers and PCs.
DM7020 CCcam.cfg

SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB0 smartreader+
SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB1 smartreader+
SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB2 smartreader+

SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB3 smartreader+
Now we need add to CCcam.cfg new line:
SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB0 smartreader+
SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB1 smartreader+
SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB2 smartreader+
or whatever USB port your smartreader is entered.
Save CCcam.cfg and run ./CCcam.x86 -d you should see new card is added and running.
In CCcam.cfg is card overklocking and there you just edit like so:
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/ttyUSB0 4800000 and card works with 4.80mhz set by smartreader+.
READER VALUES – MHZ
3 – 16MHZ
4 – 12MHZ
5 – 9.61MHZ
6 – 8MHZ
7 – 6.86MHZ
8 – 6MHZ
9 – 5.34MHZ
10 – 4.80MHZ
11 – 4.36MHZ
12 – 4MHZ
13 – 3.69MHZ
14 – 3.43MHZ
15 – 3.20MHZ
On this way you can set the correct values for each reader.When you use multiple readers don’t forget the option to set the correct reader! The users can selecte any freqency. The Smart card reader+ will selected the nearest available.
Default smartreader+ speed is with new v1.3 & v1.4 firmware 3.69MHZ and most cards works with that speed. Although new version 1.5 firmware of USB smargo card reader, It is not the official release and not as stable as 1.3 & 1.4. The users would better choose the old version.

Digital TV On PC service offers you many types of programs including, sports, educational, discovery channel, geo world TV, shopping channels, hunting, news, movies, music videos and much more. However, some excellent or amazing tv channels need pay monthly fees. So how to watch digital satellite pay TV on PC would be a topic that many satellite hobbyists and hunters are interested. Firstly, watching satellite digital TV on your computer requires a DVB S2 card, Smart Card, CAM. It seems a little complex, but it is worthy you doing that. Finding a suitable DVB s2 card would save a lot of time and money when encrypting the Pay TV. Now we would introduce a several DVB S2 cards with CI. All of them will allow you enjoy digital DVB S2 satellite HDTV pay TV channels.
TBS 5980 USB DVB S2 TV QBox CI
The TBS 5980 USB DVB S/S2 TV Qbox CI is fully compliant with DVB-S and DVB-S2 broadcasting standards. With built in CI module, you need open your desktop and insert your subscription card directly. Of course, it would be the best solution for external USB TV card for laptop. The key highlight of this DVB S2 USB TV box is with CI and DiseqC motor support. It works perfectly with Window Media Center, Linux MythTV and other DVB applications.
AnySee E7-S2 DVB-S/S2 USB TV Box with CI
DVB-S2 USB box with built in CI module, This is another excellent DVB S2 CI card. No need for full height PC cases or having to go at the back of your PC to insert your subscription card, you can even use it with a laptop. Enjoy scrambled high-definition quality satellite channels by inserting a CAM and smart card.A C-Band or Ku-Band satellite dish with LNB is required. To view Pay TV channels, you need a compatible CAM and subscriber card.
NetUP PCIe DVB S2 Dual DVB-S2-CI
The NetUP Dual DVB-S2-CI is a professional DVB-S/DVB-S2 PCI-e card designed for high-density appliances such as DVB-IP gateways, home theaters, satellite Internet systems, etc. In contrast to standard DVB-S cards, NetUP’s Dual DVB-S2-CI provides fourfold density – two DVB-S/S2 receivers and two Common Interface (CI) slots occupy only one PCI-e slot. The high density allows saving space on installation and using the card for satellite signal reception in confined environments. For example, a standard 1U rack-mount server with two PCI-e slots can receive and fully decode 4 satellite transponders, such as NetUP’s IPTV Combine 4x or DVB-IP gateway 4x
AzureWave DVB-S2 CI PCI Card
The AD-SP400 DVB-S2 CI card is a DVB s2 card with PCI slot. It supports low profile and low setup computer. There is a common interface on the right side f the card.A C-Band or Ku-Band satellite dish with LNB is required. To view Pay TV channels, you need a compatible CAM and subscriber card. However, until now SelectTV and Aurora services using Irdeto I/II CAMs are known to work with this device. Other CAMs are still waiting for test.
Please note these DVB-S devices rely on an appropriate CAM and official subscription cards to descramble PayTV services. As the PayTV providers may make changes to the encryption system or the format of the material broadcast, so please make sure the DVB S/S2 TV card if are well compatible with the functionality of these devices with any PayTV services. Notwithstanding anything anywhere else said, these devices are therefore only guaranteed to work with un-encrypted services.
