Re: Apple - Charging Same $ for 4K as HD plus upgrading all HD movies to 4K for FREE!
Time for Vudu and the UV consortium to rethink policies and pricing. I've got nearly 700 titles in UV ecosystem and a couple hundred in the iTunes ecosystem because I usually buy physical disks for the best audio and video quality, and that's how the codes redeemed.
BUT, I now have an Apple TV 4K and the audio and video on their UHD titles is virtually indistinguishable from the physical disk in a UHD BD player. There is less compression from iTunes compared to Ultraviolet. And now that many of my 200 titles just went from HD to 4K AT NO COST on iTunes is a game changer. I think I can finally abandon physical media and just buy from iTunes to get the quality I want WITHOUT extremely higher pricing like Vudu does.
Vudu/UV should do this ASAP or risk losing customer loyalty and revenue. In addition, they should consider doing a little less compression on the titles! It is a markedly noticeable difference in quality, which will lead me (and others) over to Apple/iTunes.

Re: Wow Vudu, lets get with the program
Originally posted by SolidState View PostI hear you, the draw back to Apple is you have to have an iDevice to view the content. When I first started collecting digital copy of movies is was through iTunes, then I realized I could only watch on my ipad or get an appleTV. I didn't want the apple TV because I didn't want to by another box to plugin and hang outside of my TV when the TV could do what the apple TV is doing if Apple just made an app. Luckily, the Disney anywhere allowed me to pull my Disney moves from iTunes to make available on VUDU.
With apple announcement, I'm thinking of just giving in and get an apple TV box for at least one of our TVs and move back to iTunes. It would be nice to pull my UV into iTunes.

Re: Apple - Charging Same $ for 4K as HD plus upgrading all HD movies to 4K for FREE!
Eh main reason why I didn?t get a Apple TV u Pay 200$, buy a tv, not all of my digital copies were iTunes most are Ultraviolet or vudu only digital redemptions, and vudu was offering the 4K versions first, or if you bought the 4K version disc then u got the digital 4K free with purchase as well, so most of the stuff I used Vudu had for months before apple. Plus not all the apps I used are On the appletv. Like Twitch, ?a very popular game app?, or other apps that come very late for Apple TV or not at all.
At this point anyone that has a big UV library like me stick with vudu. Even if they offer the free uhd upgrade with a HDx or Hd copy bought Apple hasn?t said anything about linking our ultraviolet library to our iTunes account. Pretty sure a lot of us don?t want to rebuy our UV library on iTunes just to get the 4K version free.
Can?t wait for Vudu to offer the same 4K options soon. Come on paramount or movie studies lets make it happen don?t leave the UV club hanging in the docks.

Here now I see Baby Driver was offered at a great UHD price, but when I bought it last Tuesday I was only presented with SD or HDX purchase
options.
Homecoming is on sale preorder with iTunes for $19.99. Cant even find it on Vudu, only SD/HDX. Dont want to get Baby Drivered again.
Theres a problem here.
So there ya go!
