     Since all the changes Netflix has been making I sure am glad
    to be a DISH Network customer. Now I can enjoy streaming thousands of on-demand
    titles right to my TV or PC. Working for DISH I can tell you that you can get unlimited
    access to over 100,000 movies, TV shows and games by mail even new releases
    available before Netflix or Redbox. Go to http://bit.ly/q26J0H for more details.
