    Purchase Restrictions

    I'd like to know for a movie I plan to purchase on VUDU what I'm getting for my money. I don't see this information clearly available on the movie "More Info" screen. I know the studios can set restrictions, and they can change them over time too. But at minimum Vudu should be able to call out restrictions due to Vudu implementation.

    I was looking at the movie Brave. I can see it's available in HDX, with subtitles, PC can watch in SD or HD (no HDX), sound is Dolby Digital Plus with 5.1. I see nothing about streaming or download options.

    With purchase, will I be able to:
    Stream to Roku, Smart TV, Blu-ray
    • HDX, or limited (to SD)?
    • Dolby Digital Plus with 5.1 or Stereo?

    Download to PC, iPad, etc.
    • HDX, or limited (to SD)?
    • Dolby Digital Plus with 5.1 or Stereo?
    • Display on TV (from PC, or iPad)

    I purchased a movie last night thru D2D. I tried to download a copy to my iPad to watch in the hotel, but I was just getting the spinner. I opened a ticket, and they tell me the movie is no longer available for download, just for streaming. If I'd have known it was not available, I would not have purchased it.

      What movie exactly were you trying to download on your iPad?

        I sent you a PM. It's much too embarrassing to post the name of the movie publicly.

          Were you able to find out anything about the movie? I was able to download to my PC, so it seems it's just IOS download that Vudu does not support. I thought UV rights allow me to download?

            I added the same movie to my account and used an iPad 2 to successfully download the movie. This is more likely an issue with your iPad. What version iPad and iOS is on it?

              I've download 8 movies and watched 5 of them on my iPad so far this week. I travel full-time, and spend a lot of time in hotel rooms.

              Just for fun, I tried again, and it's working!

              Not sure what's changed, but I'm a happy camper!
