DISH Network L.L.C. announced today the expansion of family and kid's programming available through the company's Blockbuster @Home™ entertainment package. DISH will add more than 3,000 titles suitable for children ages three to 13 as part of its growing line-up of family entertainment, including programming from partners Vivendi Entertainment, Cookie Jar, Lions Gate Films and Scholastic Media.

"The Blockbuster brand is known for two things: family and movies and now we offer our customers more of both," said Dave Shull, senior vice president of Programming, DISH. "Our kid's programming expansion provides families an even bigger selection of shows that are exciting and educational."

Blockbuster @Home is an expansion of Blockbuster Movie Pass, introduced by DISH last fall. For $10 per month, this exclusive package offers DISH customers the following:

• More than 100,000 DVD movies, TV shows and games by mail with unlimited in-store exchanges of DVDs and video games at participating Blockbuster stores;

• More than 25,000 movies and TV shows on demand on the computer;
• More than 3,000 video games by mail;
• More than 20 premium movie and family channels.

Blockbuster @Home, offered only to DISH customers, is now available on the iPad® through the recently enhanced DISH Remote Access app.

To access Blockbuster @Home or on-demand content, a DISH HD DVR ViP 612, ViP 622, ViP 722, ViP 722k or the Hopper whole-home HD DVR entertainment system is required.

Many of the same streaming movie choices offered by Blockbuster @Home will also be accessible on the Hopper for customers who have limited or no Internet access with a feature called DISH Unplugged.
