    Re: What's the best device for streaming vudu?

    We mainly use the PS3 and Roku XS with Vudu, and from those two, the Roku is our primary player. We have an old Roku that can't do Vudu.

    We also have a harmony remote and the adapter for the PS3. The Roku interface is a little more family friendly so that is the one that is used more often.

    Both work great though. The Roku has more apps of course, but they both have most if not all of the major ones. I am happy to see the above post about bitstreaming DD+ on the PS3. The Roku has the ability currently.

    If I had to pick one simply based on Vudu streaming, it would be the Roku 3. This is mostly due to cost and speed. The Roku is always on therefore there is not starup time. It's also very small. If you plan on using the PS3's other features, blu ray, games, media server, and so on, the PS3 is a great device.

    The PS4 is coming out fairly soon...

      Since I'm spending a ton of money on movies and D2D we have turned off all blu ray players and the PS3 and now only use our power sipping Roku 3's (for Vudu, Amazon, Netfilx, and Hulu). It's fast and streams with no problems both on Wifi and Wired. This of course has given good savings on our electric bill.

        Oppo BDP-103 ($500). One of the fastest, smoothest interfaces on a box you'll use and I've used pretty much everything that Vudu run's on. Does Vudu with 1080 and 3D. Netflix and Pandora as well. Roku optional via MHL streaming stick ($50) but I don't like Roku too much, plus the Roku runs so much slow than the Oppo it diminishes the whole Oppo experience. If you really need it use a Roku 3 instead, much better than any other Roku.

          I also use the Oppo 103. It works great. The only problem is loading the VUDU app. I don't know whether it's my player, but most of the time I click on the VUDU app, it freezes up and I have to go back to the home screen and reload it. The second attempt always works, but it's a pain in the butt. Once it's up and running though, it's almost flawless.

            If price is the primary factor I'd go with Roku (2XS or 3). The only caveat with it is it doesn't decode DD+ so you need a receiver that will do DD+ to get 5.1 sound. Also, the Roku Wifi isn't that great so you probably want make sure you have a solid Wifi signal to wherever you place it, or use wired Ethernet if possible (hence my recommendation of the 2XS/3 which have Ethernet).
            So how did you get all of those activated with the silly 5 device limit? lol

              Just a little info, I have a Harmony 1100 remote with my setup, and I programmed it to control every home theatre device I have, including screen masking....I just hit the power button and done......

                Alpha tester Also, I don't use that many at home *now* (I think my current active devices at the moment are a PS3, an Xbox 360, a Samsung TV, an old LG BD player, and an iPad) but I have been at VUDU for a while so I've gone through a few devices over the years...

                Regarding that limit, we'd love to see it raised and are working with the studios to do it. Technically UV has a higher limit (12) and we'd like to see that used across the board - but until all of the studios allow it we are sort of stuck with the lowest common denominator...

                  Really I got rid of the PS3 after it could only do 1080P or 720P-3D but not 1080P-3D.

                  It was also slow and the menu's just maddening compared to my Oppo. But I guess you do have more flexibility with it being a full game machine, especially if 3D isn't a concern.
