    Well this needs to change or else you guys will continue to play second fiddle to Vudu. The vast majority of my collection is Blu-ray therefore your service is near worthless to me. I can upgrade some of my titles from the combo DVD for $5 but only if its not on Vudu as it would only be $2.

    I've lost my HDX rights to CONTAGION in Vudu, which I had for a week or so after converting the DVD to HD thru CinemaNow.

    I have two entries for CONTAGION in my UV locker, one from an early Flixster redemption and this second one from CinemaNow.

    CinemaNow has JUSTICE LEAGUE: DOOM on their Disc-to-Digital list but I can't convert it to HD because it's not activated in CinemaNow's system.

    I actually have two entries for JUSTICE LEAGUE: DOOM in my UV locker, one of them grants me HD rights but I can't get anyone at Vudu to recognize my HD rights.

    Meanwhile, I can watch both movies in HD on my PS3 and LG DVD player using CinemaNow's clunky interface...

    I've created work orders for both with Vudu, with screenshots from my UV locker, and they just keep closing my work orders.

    That's pretty crazy but I have the same issue. Depending on where I'm viewing though (Flixster, Flixster Collections, CinemaNow, Vudu, etc) and on which device (iPhone, iPad, Panasonic BluRay, Sony BluRay, Mac Computer, etc) I see more or less duplicates of the same title.

    In some cases I see all duplicates, in others only the different qualities (duplicates of same quality combined), where still others it combines all duplicates of the same title (be they SD, HD, or HDX).

    In ALL cases I personally have experienced though different versions (theatrical, unrated, directors, etc) are NEVER combined.

    UV just maintains the copies. It's seems to be up to the company doing the streaming app to determine how they present the copies to you.

    Wow thats crazy. I was kind of surprised that I got some many quick responses to all my contacts given what everyone has been saying. I did explain to them that I had hundreds of blurays I wanted to do and that I could do it at wal-mart no problem and for less given that blu-rays with CN cost as much as DVD. I wanted to give them the opportunity to resolve the issue before they lost a huge chunk of change. That MAY have been a contributing factor.

    Here is an official response I received from Cinema Now through escalation of the issue over several days.

    "We apologize for the inconvenience you are presenting, please note that at this stage of the program we do not support the convertion of Blu-rays to the digital copies, that is why the error is occurring with the program."

    Blu-Ray MAY work or not work with them currently. Only DVD is currently the intention of the BETA program they have right now.

    Re: CinemaNow and Rovi launch beta at home D2D service

    I tried a few Blu Rays to see how it worked out. I ended up buying nothing because all of the movies I have that I have not done yet it did not read the Blu Ray as a qualifying disc. Of the one's it did read as available I already had on there. So at this point it's only certain Blu Rays that it reads.

    The Sherlock Homes I tried was $4.99 for HD upgrade so that would be same price, but since it's treating Blu-Ray as DVD right now it's not worth it.

That's unfortunate. It also means that BB/CN is upwards of $1 more expensive to convert DVD's and $4 more expensive to convert Blu-Ray's. YIKES !

    What does Disc To Digital cost?

    Prices vary by title and by studio, but in general you?ll be able to convert your DVDs to SD digital copies for $1.99-$2.99 or to HD digital copies for $4.99-$5.99.

    **Note that not all devices can play movies in HD. When you buy an HD digital copy you will always be able to stream or download an SD version to devices that are not HD compatible.

    Huh, it's supposed to be $2 for DVD to SD, $5 for DVD to HD, and $2 for Blu-Ray to HD.

    I ended up canceling. I may just wait to see what Vudu gets in place, hopefully by month end as the VUDU CSR people are easier (and QUICKER) to deal with.
    At least CineamNow will read Blu-ray discs incase you don't own it on DVD. Maybe once it fully launches it will charge you $2 for Blu-ray movies.
