    Apple TV 4K & Location Services Issue

    I own an Apple TV 4K and my digital entitlement on the Blade Runner re-master correctly shows that I truly have UHD version by using the UV code in the package. And it plays pretty well in my home.

    But, I then carried my Apple TV 4K about 15 miles to a friends house because he wanted to see how it looked on that platform! Surprise! Can't play it! Just get a spinning icon and the movie never starts!

    Then I tried other titles I own from my library of nearly 700 titles. No go on any! Appears even though you can take iOS app anywhere in the world and it will play your movies, the same is NOT true on tvOS. This really ticks me off! I actually take my Apple TV with me when I travel for use in hotels! It works far better than, for example, a Roku stick for me.

    The Vudu tvOS app NEEDS AN UPDATE TO ALLOW THE DEVICE ITSELF TO BE MOBILE! If I own the hardware and have legitimate license to the entitlement, you should not be geo-locking the service! So am I going to be forced to watch on my iPad Pro when traveling? When I have an Apple TV that I can plug into the big screen in my room? That's just stupid.

    Just curious but how did you come to the conclusion that this was a geo-location issue at all? Did it work fine when you turned location services off?

      I really doubt there's geo-locking involved. Your friend's network is more likely the culprit in this case.

        I feel like when I read these forums I get an insight into what a Vudu customer service rep’s day is like and now I want to send them over some pizza and beers...
