This is a great deal. I already spend a lot of time at DISHOnline.com because that is my favorite site to watch TV shows and movies. Now with the addition of Cookie Jar TV to my Blockbuster @Home service, I can let my kids watch their shows without worrying about what else they might come across. As an employee I think my employers, DISH, have made a great choice by expanding their children’s content. It adds a lot of value to a package that already offers DVDs, Blu-rays and video games for just $10!
