DISH Network launches Fandango Channel

TiVo and Verizon aren’t the only providers piping interactive Internet-based services to your set-top box. DISH Network has launched Fandango movie ticketing service on channel 100. The OpenTV-powered application isn’t limited to broadband-connected DISH hardware, and tickets can even be ordered over a connected phone line. By default, the app displays movies and showtimes near a customer’s zip code. However, the search can be expanded/customized. And a future rev of the Fandango widget will include movie trailers.
