    Vudu on New Apple TV 4K?

    I missed most of Apple's live event stream, but on Apple's product page for the new Apple TV 4K, it mentions Netflix, and even Amazon Video ("coming soon" it says); but no mentioned of Vudu. Any confirmation that a Vudu app will (or will not) be available on the new Apple TV 4K?

    It will certainly be on there like it is now, but I'm sure Vudu will just have to update the app (and they may have already prepared that when they built the app)

        I sincerely doubt it. Vudu UHD seems to be exclusive to certain hardware manufacturers.

          ...and there's no reason to think Apple TV isn't going to be one of them.

                The specs of the new Apple TV 4K only list Dolby Digital 5.1 and 7.1 as audio outputs. Check the technical specs on Apple's website. No mention of Atmos at all. While I do believe that the Vudu App will support showing movies in UHD with Dolby Vision through the Apple TV 4K (either now or after an update), it does not look like we will also be able to get Atmos sound simply because the hardware doesn't support it. Apple really dropped the ball on this one IMHO.

                  Yes, it has Atmos...

                    Where does it show having Atmos?

                    Also, Xbox One S didn't initially have Atmos support and it does now.

                      Correction to what I said - ATV 4k supports EAC-3 which means it CAN carry Atmos, but it's definitely not explicitly stated that it currently does.

                      Worst case it could be added later like, as you say, the Xbox One S...

                        From what I'm seeing, there is no UHD on the Vudu app on AppleTV 4K and also I doesn't look like you can purchase/rent content within the app.

                          I've tried a couple of Vudu titles on the Apple TV 4k and I don't like that the progress bar (on the bottom) with all the functionality is gone. I doubt that I'll be watching any Vudu content on this device because of this...

                          69 UHD
                          799 HDX

                            Yes, it does show UHD if you own it. It’s at the top of a titles page with release date, run time, etc. And it’s a play only app like it’s iOS app has always been.

                            Keep in mind though that the Vudu app on ATV4K cannot yet play UHD.

                            All apps on ATV have to use the system’s built in progress bar. There’s nothing Vudu can do to override that.

                              I have apple 4k and roku ultra pretty ok imo.

                              In terms of video quality theres reall not a big difference. I used the same monster 4k cables, tv settings, soundbar settings, and vudu setting for both and the video on wonder woman, transformers dont really hit me as ?wow apple this is way better than the roku version I have?.

                              Sound- cant really say much on this I dont have a atmos soundbar, but both offer DD plus 7.1 again not a biggy or maybe my ears are just bias to roku vudu.

                              Loading time, skipping, or scene selection is a bit slower on roku but not by much if u dont pay attention. When I was skipping from Nemesis Prime to start of the movie it was instant on appletv for me but on roku same scenes I tested it was a bit slower on roku.

                              the interface is kinda a let down but not a complete hit and miss. I have a ipad/iphone and both pc and mac omputers, so am use to having to adjustto the video controls. though I kinda wish they had given u more GUI styles or have the play button in the middle of the screen, stop button top right or something but not too bad for now.

                              Overall not a bad start for apple this was my first apple tv and am perfectly fine using my roku ultra vudu still. Maybe for new guys or people that havent invested already in vudu or dont have hundreds of movies in UV go for apple vudu. In my case I had the extra money, had already iphone/ipad that I use alot for mobile watching, so it was a 100% buy.
