    I tried this 5-6 times, and it never connected. I gave up and sent it back. I'm back on the road, and it's in the hands of UPS.

    I think I've seen this before. Try changing it back and forth from automatic to manual network configuration a couple of times, and make sure to save the settings and exit each time. I think it might still be looking for the old gateway or DNS from the last time the settings were changed.

    (Just sitting in my house for about 5 years, the Vudu set top boxes have been pretty reliable and trouble-free for me, but I was on these forums in the pre-app days, when the only way to use Vudu was the STBs.)

    I think the Vudu box most often breaks in the same way. I saw other posts from folks with the same issue. Too bad no one took the box apart and figured out how to fix it. I don't really have the time. I'd not be surprised if the same broken boxes are sold over and over on the Internet.

    Vudu is likely working with WD on the download issue, but it's been over a month. I'd have expected a lot more posts if it was widespread.

    All I want is to watch my content in HD on the TV at the hotel.

    In my research, I see there are some issues with the WD download feature.

    Is this a common problem?

    Yes, the Vudu BX1000 can download pretty much everything in your collection. I've just tested it with a D2D purchase and a movie that is only in my Vudu account from being in my UV locker, and I can download them both to the BX1000.

    Seems my Vudu box is dead. I've returned it to Amazon. Time to reconsider my options.

    Can anyone confirm the WD TV Live Hub 2TB Media Center and Vudu XL HD Video Download Box both give you HDX downloads of UV movies? Any other advantages for one or the other? I did see the WD box will handle many more video formats the the Vudu box.

    I found one used on Amazon. I don't see any more available.

    Actually I used points, so it was free.

    I'll post later on my results, after it arrives and I've tested it a bit.

    For just using Vudu, it's very nice. The one thing that isn't immediately obvious is that downloading is only done when the box is idle, so don't queue up a bunch of downloads, browse some more, watch a movie, and expect them to be downloaded. Go run errands or go to sleep, they'll be downloaded later.

    Thanks. I have a WD TV live I haven't used for awhile but this is the model with no hard drive. Does yours allow for downloading anyplace else, like Amazon prime or netflix?

    This is the box I found......http://www.amazon.com/Vudu-XL-Video-...words=vudu+box


    With a 1 terabyte hard drive it would be worth the cost if it can download from my ultraviolet collection on Vudu. Only thing is it sounds like the Vudu boxes has been discontinued?? That's why I'm trying to figure out if any other boxes can download also....and maybe more stuff like amazon prime and netflix? Our internet streams fine in SD, but need to download for anything higher. Have yet to come up with a solution.
