    I thought of that, which is why I made the comment that Vudu isn't far enough along to replace cable or satellite with a DVR. If it was, then yes I would kind of agree.

    That's what I did for Chuck. I actually watched the entire season one in one day and am now watching the current season on my Comcast/Tivo. I really can't imagine why I would pay for an episode on Vudu when I could Tivo it. I would understand if Vudu was your only box but TV on Vudu is certainly not far enough along to make that a good idea and DVRs are rather commonplace these days.

    Bottom line, there are different reasons for purchasing shows and there is no reason why VUDU should not strive to at least match other services.

    Re: Vudu Praise and a few suggestions/requests

    For me the TV on VUDU was only to collect entire seasons of some older shows:

    Lost In Space
    Time Tunnle

    I am hoping for:

    Land of the Giants
    Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea

    +1

    I would pay to watch TV episodes like Startrek Enterprise to be able to watch a lot of the episodes (in the correct order) that I missed back when I had a "real" job.

    But I would never use VUDU to watch TV.

The voting should be either a non-purchase click in the UI, or online.

    I agree, you dont have to rent the movie on netflix before you rate it, should be the same in Vudu.

That effectively "votes" your movie pick for the week and then he'll tally those up and report back here or something like that. I'm not sure if this started yet or not since I've not seen any mention of it, but it's a cool idea.

    Re: Vudu Praise and a few suggestions/requests

    Same deal with Prison Break: the last episodes of the season I somehow missed on my DVR, so I just bought them on Vudu maybe a week or less after they aired. No such luck this season. I'm also looking to watch The Big Bang Theory every week, since I only have two active DVRs and there are two other shows on in that slot that I like even more, but it's still one of my top 10 or 20 shows currently airing. Of course, that doesn't have any episodes from this season either.

    Last season Vudu was getting new releases of shows regularly. Shark for example, got the new shows right away.

    But this season, The Closer has never been updated and Sarah Connor Chronicles has not been updated either. A big bummer...

    Re: Vudu Praise and a few suggestions/requests

    In addition to all other suggestions & ideas, I'd like to say that TV side of things needs work. Not only is the interface non-TV friendly and there are no options to buy seasons (instead of purchasing 20+ episodes individually), but the show selection leaves much to be desired (only 50 or so shows), there are no HD shows, and VUDU seems to get shows around DVD release instead of next day like iTunes.

    Sure, I have TiVo, HTPC, 360, and PS3, so I can get my shows other ways. But I like the convenience of VUDU and, especially, ability to archive shows to a cloud.

    Oh I wont. I surely wont hold it against a new release thats sd. Ill just pick the HD stuff before anything else.

    I hope Vudu holds true that all HD titles will he HDX too. Hopefully we see all new releases in HD in the future.
