    Amazon Preorder is the best model, only problem I see is Vudu tends to add SD/HD/HDX offerings at different times. I guess youd need a default ordering of formats so you could pick set it it up to receive them in the order you like. Kinda like the Netflix BR #1 DVD #2 options.

    Come on guys - I've been saying this since the day HDX was leaked to the public.

    I think VUDU could do a very similar thing by using the Wishlist more effectively.
    Legally for VUDU the content cannot be put on your VUDU until you have rented it or purchased it. Now DirecTV may have other legal agreements that allows some of their content to be pushed out.

    On the Obama ads...just keep watching and you will finally believe just as Joe the Plumber believes.

    Its pretty obvious as the next step to me in this model. If Vudu wish's to compete with media and Netflix/BB, they need to offer you some kinda queue system.

    As SOON as a movie has a rent date, let me pick it for download, then on the date it becomes available, charge me and send it to my box.

This is why DVR's dont have full access to the entire HDD for recording shows, Directv reserved it for movies and such.

    And yes, Im very unhappy they pushed political crap to my HDD for a quick buck.

    If I could go to "Coming Soon" (or other movie discovery sections) and add selected movies to My Wishlist and then VUDU would add these movies (behhind the scenes) to my VUDU box as they become available, it would come close to making the HDX movies that I'm interested in available for Instant View.

    If memory servers me right, I think Shultzy argues that this could also facilitate a more effecient P2P system.

    Re: HDX Movies?!

    I just found something new and interesting on my Directv DVR.

    When you list the content that's recorded on your DVR, there is a section called "Movies Now and Showcases".

    I went to the "Movies Now" and was really surprised to find 8 New Release HD Movies had been pushed to my DVR without my request. So I now have 8 HD movies available to "Instantly" watch on my DVR if I want to.

    None of them are in 1080/24p a.k.a HDX (yet), so I didn't rent any of them. But considering they predownloaded almost all of the same movies I've just ordered from VUDU, I find it an interesting concept.

    Now much to my disgust, they also pushed 2 Hussein Obama commercials to my DVR as well, in the Showcases section.

    Kind of, but I don't usually need to hide the posters; if they're on the "film strip" on the home page, for example, they're kind of small. However, if they're rolled over on the "My Rentals" page, you get a full-screen poster. I'd prefer to remove it from that list than have to go to switch Parental Controls on and off all the time just to see any R-rated movies. But if I were desperate, I certainly could do that.

I think it would be a good feature because what if you watched a movie your spouse or SO would object to in a major way or that you wouldn't want the kids to see in your list of movies. I think it's a good idea.

    Oh, they absolutely do. If the box runs out of room with a new rental the old stuff gets overwritten. At least, that's how I think it works. I really don't know for certain (they don't tell me much ).

    Do your spouse and SO know each other!
