    You have 30 days to view them. But once you start watching it you have a 24 hour window to view them.
    By renting them I guess i basically lined them up in the queue so when I sit down to look at them(I'm watching The Core now) the whole movie will be there for me to fast forward through.
    It does seem to take exactly 4mbs bandwidth from my INternet connection for the HD downloads. I just started a bunch of downloads between my two VUDU boxes, my FIOS STB and two of my Xbox 360s and I still have 5mbs of download bandwidth left out of the 30mbs I have with FIOS.

      Well I must say I am really impressed! Transformers is playing here and it looks and sounds fabulous (same quality as the Bourne movies). The movie started playing *instantly* no delay at all. My net connection is still completely usable - I really thought that watching HD would throttle my network, but it really hasn't (I have an 8MB comcast connection).

      A massive Well Done to the Vudu engineers, I'm guessing there may have been a few sleepless nights getting this update together, the hard work is appreciated by your customers.

      Maybe we should all head over to the apple forums and gloat now?

        You call it gloating, but in reality, we need to do that just because. Even when the apple tv update comes out, I doubt it will be viewable that fast. If enough people start talking about little features that outdo apples here and there on THEIR turf, more and more will be curious enough to try Vudu out and maybe the word will spread. Apple never will fall, but itd be nice to see Vudus name become more common. Just think of the average Joe who never heard of Vudu and is browsing an apple forum to learn about it. If he starts seeing posts about how Vudu compares and outdoes apple in many areas, maybe we can sway some people.

        Anyways, just on a rant...at least its a good one...

          Now now....we are more civialized than that...we don't need to start a flame war between the superior VUDU and the 720p, waiting for new software, Apple TV camp. But feel free to post on Engadget they got the story:

            For those that don't want to wait for the update or want to see the new movies at a glance including their audio quality and year, I pulled together this chart of todays HD releases.

            When "gloating" please be sure to specify the correct number of movies - its actually nearer 55 movies than 80.

              There are 65 on my box including the three Bourne movies. At least that is what comes up when I use the HD filter. It lists 65 titles.
              My other box, which I only activated yesterday, has the new update but has no HD movies yet since it's only been updating for 24 hours and has an old database(14:353)

                    I didn't catch that at first.
                    When I apply a rental filter to the 65 that showed up with HD it only shows 48 available to rent.

                      Don't take me as being critical - just precise. We shouldn't make statements like "we have nearly 80 HD movies" when the number is actually less than 60.

                        They have to start somewhere and they did say by the end of January so they met the time listed in the press release.
                        That's much better than that other company with the inferior product.
                        I've been very, very pleased with my VUDU box and the addition of HD titles only makes the box even better.

                            Since it's available I'll have to sit down and watch that again sometime soon for some good laughs. Although it's nowhere near as funny as "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World".

                                I just checked these and yeah, a number of them like Rat Race say "Available Soon" when this morning, they were all available. The ones with the dates in the future have not been but others were there under the same database number. So I have opened a bug report on this.
