    Fairly new to the Vudu service and have a few questions

    I have tried search in the forum and on Google, and didn't find very clear answers.

    1. How much storage does Vudu offer? I came across the storage number once, but it seemed like a fairly low number, considering the hundreds of movie that I would need to D2D, plus other I plan to purchase.

    2. How many movies (est.) can I store in the cloud? 500? 1000? 5000 (wishful thinking)?

    3. Does Vudu offer larger storage packages?

    4. I just read over a few threads where people stated that Vudu and similar services may only offer the ability to stream movies from your library for a limited time (1, 3, 5 years), before charging you again for the movies you already own. Has Vudu stated whether or not there will be additional charges in the foreseeable future?

    5. I also read something about customers downloading movies to their Vudu set-top box, and also that Vudu does not make these devices any longer. With that in mind, I would also like to download my movies to a device to store them offline as well. What devices are available for this purpose? Can I use my computer to download onto an external hard drive, and then access them, from a computer, or other devices?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    You don't actually take up space in the cloud like with ordinary storage space. You are just granted access to the content you own or rent.

    No limit (see answer #1)

    3. Does Vudu offer larger storage packages?

    N/A

    There hasn't been such a statement, that's more speculation then anything.

    5. I also read something about customers downloading movies to their Vudu set-top box, and also that Vudu does not make these devices any longer.

    You can download movies for offline viewing on a PC, MAC, and mobile devices. The downloads cannot be shared amongst other devices though. You can only playback on the same device it was originally downloaded to.
