    Re: Just orded a Vudu box...

    I agree that VUDU needs to seriously beef up TV side. I'm kinda torn right now on how I should organize TV shows -- store them on NAS or have them on Blu-Ray. Probably will stick with NAS since many shows don't show up on Blu-Ray even when broadcast in HD.

    Hehe, my laptop makes it easy. I leave the SVGA cable laying behind the tv and the audio cable on top of the Onkyo, takes me longer to get to Amazon than it does to hook my laptop up to the TV. Im still amazed at the PQ, much better than SDTV.

    I have a Sony VAIO PC with a BR read/write drive and HDMI output.

    But I have yet used it to connect to my TV. It's just too much hassle hauling it from my office room to my entertainment room and hooking it up just to watch something on TV from it.

    I also have never burned a BR disk from it after I found out how much blank BR disks cost.

    So it turned out to be kind of a waste of money for me. I pretty much just use my pc to do my finances and hassle VUDU forum posters.

    Yeah, it would be nice. I have an AppleTV too and it's nice being able to get shows that you've been unable to get elsewhere.

    Hey, he was trying to make Vudu look tempting to new customers, not to scare people away!

    I could go on. The box has come incredibly far in 1 year. Oh and the price did go down $100. It was $400 when it was first launched...

    More good stuff to come too as I understand it (course, I know NOTHING).

    Absolutely, there are very few off the shelf boxes I could plug in to a TV right now and get access to 10000+ films.

    Well, it should be a fun four months burning through $200 of HD rentals at least.

    Re: Just orded a Vudu box...

    With Vudu offering HDX, they are in the best position IMHO. AppleTv and Xbox Live arent really trying to compete on the PQ end, just with quantity. I have no interest in an Apple product and have no need for a Xbox.

    Netflix's service may be a competitor because of the price (vudu is a little pricey) and the fact Bluray players are getting access to it. Their biggest problem is no HD and the watch now stuff doesnt offer much right now, IMHO.

    I think if Vudu continues with the HDX and HD push on all new movies and drops their price $100, itll take off even more. They definitely have made an advance buy making themselves available in Best Buy.

    After owning the box for a bit, Im all for Vudu surviving, its just such a crazy time right now for movies and media, you just never know. I guess the high price of the box allows Vudu to get a decent income from the get go, which is a good thing. Plus, the people supporting the service can prob stand to take some losses for the long run. Ill be curious to see where we are at 2-3 years from now, Ill def go where the movies are, and right now Vudu appears just fine for me.
