VUDU's streaming service demoed live on an LG TV {Engadget HD}
Jul 30th 2009 12:02PM So the new interface looks a lot like the old (no bad thing) except for the chapter search which is new. Nice to see they are still working on the technology side. As long as they keep working on licensing more and more content they should do pretty well with this. Apparently, the set-top boxes are selling faster than thay can source the hard drives too, not a bad sign.

Blu-ray's Managed Copy explained, a Movie Jukebox is possible {Engadget HD}
Jun 19th 2009 8:38PM Don't we have the jukebox model already with the likes of Netflix, Vudu, Apple or Amazon?
We'll a 'jukebox' that gets new stuff automatically, has no upfront software investment and allows you to only pay for what you watch?
I just don't see the point anymore in managed copy now that you get every thing on demand.
Buena Vista and Vudu to sell HD titles day-and-date with Blu-ray {Engadget HD}
Jun 4th 2009 5:58PM It happens less and less but yeah it's still pretty annoying. There are two major flaws with this business model: 1) If you looking for something to watch on a box with access to thousands of different titles you'll just choose something else, and chances are it will be from a different studio! Also 2) for some of these I've used netflix to just rent the disc. The money they see from the netflix rental is tiny compared to the cut they get from a HDX rental.
It's funny how hard some companies will try not to take your money sometimes :)

Poll: Are you still buying DVDs? {Engadget HD}
Mar 21st 2009 12:37PM Haven't felt the need to buy a movie in any format since I invested in a Vudu Box. I can buy a film on DVD/Blu-ray or I get instant access to it anytime by renting it in HD (for a fraction of the purchase price). It's been nice not having hundreds of plastic cases filling up my lounge any more.

VUDU first on-demand service to sell HD and HDX movies {Engadget HD}
Mar 7th 2009 8:04PM "this is the 1st i've heard of vudu's proprietary"hdx"format.if it truly comes close to rivaling blu-ray(e.g.1080p/24fps)..."
It does all HDX content is 1080p/24fps with full surround audio. It look better than some blu-ray encodes.
"...i can't begin to imagine the time it takes to download to a vudu."
About four hours.
