    Upgrading a purchase to UHD?

    I currently own several titles that are now available in the new UHD format, but I don't want to spend $30 to buy the same movie again. Is there a plan to provide an upgrade option from HDX to UHD for existing movies?

      I wish there was also ( just bought a 4 K set and new Onkyo receiver that does Atmos), if they gave me the option to upgrade for $9.99 (each movie) for movies I already own in HDX I would do it in a second or d2d my BR to UHD would be good also, but I don't expect these things to happen.

        I blame the studios for this more than Vudu, but it really is asinine that incremental upgrade options are not available.

          Have there been any definitive statements saying that we should not expect an upgrade option?

            No. I would not be surprised if there are upgrade options down the road, but I would be surprised if we see any such thing until there is a lot more content out there and I would also be surprised if it were available for all titles.

              An upgrade option would be nice but the first thing I would like the studios to fix is the fact that the UV code that comes with 4K UHD Blu-rays gives an HDX not UHD copy...

                I agree, why should the BD come with an HDX code but the UHD copy not come with the UHD digital code?

                1 UHD
                719 HDX
                1 HD
                2 SD

                  For the current 4K BD movies San Andreas, Pan, Mad Max: Fury Road and The Lego Movie from Warner Bros, you now will receive the VUDU UHD format when redeeming the included UltraViolet code on VUDU.

                    So the InstaWatch will only be HDX but after you receive the disc and redeem the code it will add UHD as well?

                      What if you have already redeemed a code for HDX? Will redeeming another code give you UHD?

                        The fine print in the Vudu message was you have to be redeeming a UV code from one of the new 4k Ultra UHD Blu-rays to get UHD on Vudu.

                        It was also implied, but not expressed that you have to redeem it on Vudu and not on another UV site.

                        Redeeming a regular blu-ray UV still only gets you HDX, much like redeeming a DVD UV gets you SD.

                        This also seems to only apply to selected Warner 4k Ultra UHD blu-ray so other studios will likely still only give you HDX.

                          Good points.

                          Yes, it makes sense that you could only redeem it directly on Vudu, as (to my knowledge) Ultraviolet does not support UHD yet.

                            Does it do any good? I purchased 3 UHD movies from VUDU and it shows they play in HDX. Is this correct? What is the purpose of buying the UHD version of these movies if they don't play in UHD? Or is it just a glitch in how it is listed and you do not have UHD in the pop up box yet?

                              If the device you're using doesn't support UHD with Vudu then it will say it can play in whatever resolution is available.

                              IR Roku 4 will say UHD, Roku 3 will say HDX.
