VUDU's self-titled set-top-box has certainly made quite the name for itself in the few short months that it has been on the market. Whether or not that name is positive one, however, is most certainly up for debate. Soon after launching at $399, reviews came
pouring in that seemed to harmoniously shout "meh," but we still had hope for it. Upon
speaking with company representatives at CEDIA, we knew that potential was still untapped at its coming out party -- the only question was how much support would it get from
studios when pleading for their precious content in high-definition. Needless to say, garnering said backing still seems to be an
uphill battle, but we managed to wrap our paws around the
now-$295 device and put it through the paces that we HD junkies care about. Follow us after the break for the full spill, won't you?
