    iTunes/Apple TV is mostly compatible on Apple devices, aside from the Roku and Fire TV stick. I don't have iTunes/Apple TV on my Fire tablet or Android phone. What are some VUDU and iTunes/Apple TV alternatives I could use for watching movies or TV shows?

    The android app is much better now than it was last year. You can now sort your collection alphabetically or by purchase date and tv shows are now grouped together. They even feature bonus features on select titles. No ability to sort by genre or studio, but other retailers beside Vudu don't have this feature either or have one that is broken. They even have UHD playback on Android TV's, something which the Vudu app doesn't even have, plus superior prints for a lot of movies. However, there is no DV or surround sound options, no ability to upgrade your titles, and no device support for Apple TV. Altogether, there is definitely room for improvement but it appears to at least be functional now.

    Despite all that, my first choice to watch my MA content is Apple because of its higher bitrate and bonus features, then Movies Anywhere. However, I still use Vudu a lot becuase nearly half of my collection and most of my TV is non MA or non UV.

The answer is HELL NO! LOL

    The situation with Vudu is not too far off from this one. Vudu will be staying. It may be rebranded but it will remain and Vudu users should be unscathed.

    With today's Fandangonow several things can happen. #1 It can go away and they can rebrand Vudu (although in digital the Vudu brand is stronger than Fandangonow). or #2 They can keep both and integrate some basic systems perhaps like logins and gift cards. or #3 They can re purpose one of them - this would likely be Fandangonow- to say just be a service that plays Advertising Video On Demand (like Vudu free to watch) which is becoming very hot right now.

    Comcast is also in the Process of launching their online platform 'Peacock' which is the new exclusive home to 'Friends' and others. Peacock will have a paid level and a free ad supported level. Comcast is acquiring and creating ALOT of new content as well ala Disney Plus. Comcast can use Fandangonow and Vudu as 'spill over' networks to Peacock as their apps (especially Vudu) are already on most devices. Much like Disney has Hulu. This would be a faster way for them to get their content all over the place.

    I think this acquisition will be a great thing for Vudu users because the true power players now and in the future are the Content Owners and NBC/Universal is of course a top content owner. Walmart bowed out because they saw the high cost of creating new content to compete with similar platforms like iTunes and Prime. Content creation is already in the budget for NBC/Uni/Comcast so the acquisition of Vudu makes perfect sense for all parties involved. It seems like a win-win to me.

    The majority of my UHD content is already locked into Apple's ecosystem so it's not as big a deal for me. Sure, I may occasionally miss out on some deals (couldn't buy Born on the Fourth of July when it was on sale because the UHD is a Fandangonow exclusive), but Apple's UHD selection and prices are usually superior anyway. Plus, I wouldn't rule out other retailers matching ITunes free upgrades in the future which is why I'm still hesitant on spending a lot of money on titles I already own.

    Oh man, that's for certain! That is critical.

    That's weird, I've been watching only Vudu since 10pm CST 4/22 until about 10 min ago (8am-ish CST).

    Look folks, this may not be as bad as many are saying. I like the fact that a venue like Apple did not acquire Vudu because good competition is good for the end consumer (us). I opened a FandangoNow account about the same time as my Vudu account. The big glaring differences between FN and Vudu is there has been no Dolby Vision with FN, and there is obviously some service response concerns, especially after UV crashed and burned, it seems FN has been running on empty. But while everyone is saying how great Vudu has been, Vudu has streamed at a much lower rate than Movies Anywhere or Apple does, so this purchase may result in something better than what we have now. Personally, I will miss the D+D program at Vudu as I have dumped a substantial amount of money into getting 4K physical disks on their release dates, and this sale will probably kill that program, due to the connection with Wal Mart will come to an end. Lets face it, we don't have any choice except to wait and see, and I'll end with what I started with, that this may not be such a bad thing. Let's hope not.

    The Fandangonow android app is horrible with its frequent crashing but the web interface gets the job done I suppose. As good as Google Play which is faint praise I know. Don't know how it is for any other device since I only have an Apple TV and Fandangonow is not on there. Vudu has one for the ATV but it's very simplistic. Haven't heard much complaints regarding Fandangonow on Roku.

    As long as both Vudu and Fandangonow consolidate their libraries so that we can keep our exclusives, then I'll be fine with it. Just allow us to merge our libraries with our Vudu or Fandangonow login just like we did with UV or MA. I'd hate to lose device support for Apple, but it would ultimately be a small price to pay considering how much I invested in my library.
