500 Total Access subscribers have been chosen to beta test Blockbuster's pay-per-view movie download service that it acquired from Movielink in 2007. 

The service is expected to expand gradually to more Blockbuster subscribers until its official launch in August.

Blockbuster does not yet have a means of delivering on-demand content directly to its customers' televisions, but it could partner with device makers as Netflix has done.
