I really hope it increases a lot, because if not, by CES 2013 UV would only reach 15 million accounts, and that would be a big slowdown, because in 2012, it went from 750 thousand to 9 million in just one year.
    As I was doing research for my UltraViolet Timeline, I realized the July report was an old news story re-posted. The initial report of 12 million accounts was in the middle of April. So it would have been close to 1 million new accounts per month. If the rate stays the same or even increases, we could very well be looking at 20 million accounts by CES 2014!

I don't think the blu-ray players will have to have a special app though, because blu-ray players can already play divx files, and divx is one of the DRM methods that UV uses.

    Roku has a usb port too that you can connect external storage to.

    For me it is not used since my metro internet is fine and I prefer streaming to get the whole home dvr experience, but for folks in rural areas with spotty internet, it may make sense to do it that way.

    This will need to wait for CFF first though.

    P.S.- the 12 mil 'announcement' in July was just a recap of the Q1 numbers. It did not include the additions during Q2. Nice try. By my estimation, UV is in the 15-16 million range now. We will have to wait for official numbers to be sure though.

The only hassle is they are stored on your C: drive unless you trick the OS to store them elsewhere. I have a 2 TB USB drive with most of the movies I may care to watch, downloaded in HDX.

    I've also installed a WD HD Live Hub with 1 TB in my hotel, so I can watch HDX there too. It's a little glitchy yet, but the resolution is good.

    I will be taking my Roku with me when we go on vacation in a couple of weeks, so I will be putting that to the test. You may be right. The hotel internet service may be so bad that all we get to watch is that buffering message, but our vacation last year we were able to watch Netflix on my laptop. So I think it will be fine.
    You also have to keep in mind that if you have the Roku 3 (don't know about the earlier models), the TV has to have an HDMI input in order to watch your Roku. I know in my experience most hotel TVs don't have the HDMI input.

    Download limits are minimums for CFF, not maximums. Since you can move the files around and share them with your devices and family, I'm not clear why you'll need to download them again. Consider how many times you download software from the Internet. Once is usually enough.
    Well I guess I am showing my ignorance since I have never used the download feature and do not fully understand CFF. I am just saying that if I were to download a movie to watch in one room and I decided to finish the movie in my bedroom on my Roku device that I would have to download the movie again. But I don't even think downloading to my Roku devices, Vizio televisions, and Blu-ray devices is even an option.

    Regarding downloading to mobile devices, well that makes a bit more sense to me. But the bad thing about downloading is that you have to know in advance what movie(s) or television shows you are going to want to watch before you head out. With streaming, you don't have to decide.

    I will be taking my Roku with me when we go on vacation in a couple of weeks, so I will be putting that to the test. You may be right.

    UV may not go anywhere, but what if Vudu did? Many of the movies I have are not available on Flixster or CinemaNow, so I would lose them. And, I can only watch CinemaNow in one room...Flixster is not available for us to watch on any of our TVs. We need more service providers before I would feel comfortable buying digital copies only. We need Flixster to expand to other devices and we need a major company like Amazon or Netflix to join UV.

    And I don't see that downloading offers the same convenience as streaming direct from the cloud. Plus, don't you have a limit on the number of times you can download a movie? Anyway, that is a feature we'll probably never use.

    The one million new accounts per month was just a prediction by an analyast. And I don't trust analysts any further than I can throw a baseball, which isn't very far. It's possible, but so far from the numbers I've seen, it's closer to 600k new accounts per month.

    The other shortcoming today is the audio. If you are watching in your media center, you will not get DTS HD Master Audio. Some movies are not even 5.1. Obviously if you are in bed or on a mobile device, it doesn't matter as much.

    We know CFF can provide good audio, but it's not yet clear what the studios will offer in the package.
