    Can't rent movies off Website

    Says no device on my account, but that's clearly wrong.

    Just got on my device and rented Monsters HDX fine.

    This feature can only be used in Brazil now.

      WTF?

      Lemme ask this. Can I add Brazil to my BX100 and NOT have to stream HDX?

        Brazil is being released to the public today. You will be able to download rentals to the hard-drive in any format now.

          Ah, good. I like the download option better. Will my box automatically download it, or do I need to do anything?

                You will need an internet connection connected to the box to be able to watch to movie, even if you download it. Just so you are aware.

                  Oh yeah, I keep a 6mbps DSL connection live to it at all times. I'd just rather the whole movie download at that speed. If I could get a faster speed, I'd prob stream, but I want to make sure I get full quality HDX at all times.

                    I guess I need to try and stream one in HDX when I get it. If It works, I may need to look into a BR player with it, so I can get the better audio. What download speed do you need for full quality HDX, that matches a download? Is the audio that much better?

                      For HDX, it's about 4.5mbps MINIMUM. The more bandwidth the better, but there are adjustments we can make that help with streaming. As far as sound quality, the Blu-Rays will do DD+ where the STB only do DD. Personally i can't hear much of a difference.

                          Is there any kinda of guide for Brazil, and what's new? Release notes? I've never used Brazil, so just curious where Vudu is going with their direction.

                            Found the answer to some questions. I may have 12 and 20mbps HSI available to me now, so I was looking at the BR players. Appear most of them don't do Vudu Apps. So you'd have to trade apps for better sound? I wish Vudu would have stayed in the box business.

                              Keep in mind that some of the manufacturers provide their own apps, so we don't always get a say in what apps are part of each device.
