DISH Network Looking to Compete with Netflix

With it’s acquisition of Blockbuster in April, DISH Networks is planning on launching a new movie-streaming service, which they hope can take on Netflix.

Blockbuster is already taking shots at Netflix on its own website, pointing out the 60% price hike, while promoting its Blockbuster Total Access offering. Despite losing vast market share to competitors in recent years, Blockbuster still operates some retail store outlets, along with a DVD mail and on-demand OTT video service.

Blockbuster could be choosing a good time to launch their service as online video watching reached a record-high earlier this year, in June, according to comScore. Over 179 million U.S. internet users watched video online in June.
