(1) The increase in “Total DISH inventory” as of September 30, 2013 primarily related to an increase in Hopper® set-top boxes and broadband equipment.

(2) The decrease in “Total Blockbuster inventory” as of September 30, 2013 primarily related to the deconsolidation of Blockbuster UK on January 16, 2013, Blockbuster domestic store closings during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and the write down of inventory associated with our Blockbuster operations in Mexico (“Blockbuster Mexico”) during the third quarter 2013.  See Note 9 for further information.
