          Thanks Chris. Yeah...I realize what you say is correct. I believe our Android version is a Honeycomb core customized to Google TV. As you say, there are tradeoffs if they upgrade the core Android to a newer version...namely the use of Flash. This Flash is still important for many websites like out-of-market news channels which require Flash to stream their live news and on-demand videos. I imagine over time as they upgrade their websites, some will move away from Flash. So for now, I prefer the Flash capability with the less stable Chrome. In my opinion, the Co-Star is mostly made for streaming media, eg Google TV, not everyday browsing. But feel free to correct me if I am wrong. I am actually very happy with my Co-Star now that these guys (Dan and co.) got Vudu working for me. The box streams everything possible with excellent 1080p and Dolby Digital output. Mine rarely crashes if ever. For me, the key was learning the interface and customizing it with favorites/bookmarks. I also like the customized overlay that Vizio created. Anyway...cheers!

            Glad to hear sd got Vudu working. Just for anyone else wondering, there was no update or any indication on my end after submitting my ESN here. It probably took about 3 days...maybe 4. You just check the Vudu app periodically and then you will suddenly find that it works one day. I don't know exactly what Vizio does once they receive the ESN from here. But so far from all the posts here, it sounds like everyone who has the 5.6.0 update and submits their ESN numbers to Dan and Felipe will find it will finally work. Just try to be patient. Good luck to those still waiting.

              I had to reboot my machine, but it's working now! Thank you so much.

              As mentioned, there was no indicator of anything different for me either. I just saw SD say theirs worked, so I gave it a shot. At first it locked up, so I had to reboot the machine. Once I did that, the video started playing first try.

                I sent the ESN by PM a few days ago. Still no luck with our Co-Star.

                      Re: Vudu on Vizio Co-Star

                      Ok...so I guess I should have learned never to assume. Yes...I had assumed that Dolby Digital would be working once Vudu was running on my Vizio Co-Star. But I had not tried the Dolby Digital audio part. The direct connection via HDMI from the Co-Star to my Panasonic plasma was fine for the initial testing which validated the picture. However, today I connected the output from the Vizio Co-Star into my Pioneer VSX-84TXSi Dolby Digital receiver. Lo and behold, I did not receive Dolby Digital when running Vudu. It was running in two channel stereo. The Vudu app said the picture was 1080P running in Dolby Digital Plus. According to Dolby, Dolby Digital Plus protocol is such that it can still operate in traditional Dolby Digital on older receivers. I have been able to get Dolby Digital 5.1 from the Co-Star when imputing my DirecTV receiver HR-44. The Co-Star can take the DirecTV signal and send it to the receiver where it comes out in Dolby Digital. But not the Vudu App. I also tried to test Vudu from a new Windows 8.1 laptop using a web interface connected to my receiver, but it seemed like there wasn't a Dolby Digital option from the web interface....just HDX, i.e. 1080P. I wanted to see if it was a receiver issue or a Co-Star issue. But I could not even see a Dolby Digital option over the web interface. So....anyone have any thoughts on decoding Dolby Digital from Vudu on a Co-Star outputting to the Pioneer VSX-84TXSi receiver? Thanks!

                        By the way...I have seen some of the other threads on a few other sites about ARC and HDMI 1.4 cables. ARC is clearly not an option for me because of the age of my Panny plasma and my Pioneer receiver. I've done some other online research, but I have not found any clear answers. I'll do some more testing with my set-up to see if I discover any solutions while I wait to see if anyone offers some additional insights. I think my receiver should be fine based on what I heave read from Dolby. Thanks for your time in reading this.

                          Re: Vudu on Vizio Co-Star

                          Quick update on my points above. I was able to get standard Dolby Digital 5.1 on Vudu by watching the 2 minute preview of "Punisher War Zone" as suggested on another forum. So, I'm starting to think my Pioneer receiver simply can't make the Dolby Digital Plus backward compatible despite the Dolby website saying legacy Dolby systems should play Dolby Digital Plus as regular Dolby Digital. Very frustrating.

                            Well....more research indicates that something needs to decode the DD+ stream to standard DD. My Pioneer VSX-84TXSi receiver doesn't do this. It simply accepts the audio codecs. I also know the Co-star doesn't decode the DD+ stream for output as standard DD. Therefore, I would be stuck using something like Dolby Pro Logic II in the stereo stream to get some form of surround sound from many Vudu movies and shows that are in DD+. Some people like that solution. Others hate it. I'll have to try it, but on the surface I'm not a fan. Anyone have thoughts other than upgrading my AVR? I doubt that I will go that route. I like this particular Pioneer. Thanks again for any input on all this.

                              Joinmiami, have you used Netflix with your Co-Star and Pioneer VSX-84TXSi receiver? Netflix also uses Dolby Digital Plus often and if the Co-Star can send standard DD with that service, there could be a fix for Vudu. Dolby ProLogic is an imperfect workaround but life is too short to worry about things like this and replacing a receiver for that single purpose might not be a good use of funds so definitely try it and see what you think.

                                Chris...I have tried Netflix with my Co-Star and my Pioneer VSX-84TXSi. The Co-Star will not take the DD+ service and send it as traditional DD to my Pioneer receiver. As I understand, the Co-Star simply passes through whatever signal it receives. Hence why I was able to get DD from a Vudu movie in straight DD. Also why I can get the DD signal from DirecTV through the Co-Star and out to my Pioneer receiver. But Dolby Digital Plus is a different animal. Netflix on my Co-Star only offers a Stereo option. I don't know if the app is smart enough to recognize a DD+ receiver and thereby show a DD+ option. Or if a DD+ receiver would simply play DD+ regardless of the app saying stereo. I have gotten my Dell Inspiron 7520 laptop with Windows 8.1 and the native Netflix app to play the movie Black Hawk Down in what is standard DD to my Pioneer receiver. That same movie on the Co-Star Netflix is only in stereo output to my receiver. I will play around with some other titles on the Dell with Netflix to see how the laptop is processing things. I suspect that movie title was in straight DD on the Win 8.1 running Netflix native app. But the Netflix app via Co-Star is only either DD+ or stereo. Hence I just see Stereo from any Vudu or Netflix DD+ program on my receiver. Btw...I don't think the Dell was decoding DD+ to DD. I think that Black Hawk Down movie was standard DD on the Winows 8.1 native Netflix app. I have heard that Amazon Istant Prime movies are in the traditional Dolby Digital...not DD+. If so, my Pioneer should see that in DD. I tried a recommended trailer suggested on another forum, but the trailer didn't Feel free to submit any other thoughts on this.
