Playing UV movies on your TV in Canada? - Blu-ray Forum

pmac · 12-02-2013, 03:08 PM

I was wondering how you fellow Canadians play your UV movies on your TV's. I currently use CinemaNow on the PS3, but it doesn't have access to a bunch of movies, so I am left unable to play about 10% of my collection on my TV. I would like to know if there is another way, like a fully functional version of FLIXSTER or something similar like M-Go or Vudu (not available in Canada unfortunately

.

I only have Cinemanow on my PS3. A lot of the time I am away for work and just use Flixster on my iPad. Apparently Flixster will be available on the PS3 "very soon", but I have yet to see it. Cinemanow is getting better. More and more titles are becoming available. Some of my older codes that I could not access before have appeared in my account lately.

First bold, that would be terrific, if there was a full version of Flixster. They do have flixster on Roku, and Xbox, but it only shows previews and such, no movie rentals or UV access. Kind of dumb but it is what it is.

Second bold, I would not need to look any farther if CinemaNow just got their shit together and beefed up their library, I am missing about 10% of my UV library in CinemaNow. I was just in the US and Vudu was awesome to use on a Samsung Blu-ray player and on a Roku I bought while I was down there. Vudu available in Mexico, but not Canada, how does that make sense :/

So what's the best way if you buy a US Roku and want to use VUDU abroad?

Pmac,

Why don't you use Vudu on the PS3?... I don't have much experience with Cinema now but what I've seen wasn't good. Flixster too ... yuk.

Vudu is unavailable in Canada. Not on the PS3 here in Canada.
