Still getting UV rights on FandangoNow?

[IndyMLVC]

So I've had something weird happen...

At the end of July, I redeemed codes on UV for 7 of the seasons of Big Bang Theory - seasons 1, 5-10.

Of that list, 1, 5-9 all show up in my FandangoNow account. 10 does not. Realistically, none of them should have transferred because they theoretically lost UV status when MA took over.

So what's the deal? Has anyone else had this happen with titles that supposedly lost UV status? And has anyone purchased a title on FDN that wasn't supposed to be UV but ended up in their account?

As Far as I know TV shows were not impacted by MA. Especially from Warner Bros.

So they just removed the UV symbol but they're still UV?

Well, you could go look at:
https://www.myuv.com

To see if they're UV or not.

Also where did you redeem these codes?

Re-read what I wrote.

If you buy a movie that is UV and on FN with only the MA symbol (because you have FN connected to MA), it will port only to MA, and not UV.

But if you redeem UV anywhere else, Vudu, Sony Pictures, etc, those items will load from your UV locker as UV in FN. If your app is like mine, you can load your UV list and your MA list separately. And new UV items will load in, whether UV only, or UV and MA (like Warner and Sony).

But what happens if I wanted to purchase seasons 2-4 on FDN (since they're on sale right now)? Would they transfer out as UV?

That I don't know, as I only usually get movies, but I do know that a UV movie purchased on FN will make it to the UV locker. The notable exceptions being Lionsgate, many of those are a problem (probably on Lionsgate's end). I bought a few HBO episodes on FN and those ported, but that was a while ago.

So I went and checked something just now. I was just recalling something I remember other people talking about. There was a sort of a trick to seeing if a TV season is UV on FN or not. Basically you look up a TV series, go to the season in question. THEN you have to click on the TV season number once more. This will display a UV symbol if the season is UV in FN (for example, try The Pacific and Mad Men, those work like that, and both of those I have gotten seasons or episodes on FN and they ported to the UV locker).

That said, I think the reason I and most people never got much TV from FN was because most of their TV, even when it was UV in Vudu, was not UV in FN. I remember almost buying something years ago on FN, and realizing it would be stuck in FN (and only FN) and would not have ported the Vudu (and, at that time, Flixster).

So when I go to Big Bang Theory, I don't see any indication that those are UV, and I would bet they never were UV on FN

They definitely were UV on FN. They're in my UV account on FN.

And, guess what? If you purchase them on FN today, they port!

Great!! I wonder how you can tell then, except to actually buy something and then find out if it ports or not. Not that I intend to buy a bunch of TV on FN now, but maybe something, sometime.

I had almost forgotten that I had BBT season 8 (I was testing the code once, and redeemed it by accident). I just checked FN and they are viewable in FN, though it was a case where I redeemed in Vudu.

I purchased 20 movies using the mobile app. Seven of them were UV & all 7 movies ported over to https://www.myuv.com/ & FandangoNow.

My code of M:I Fallout seems to have redeemed UV according to Vudu, but isn’t showing up in FN.

FandangoNow does not offer UV compatibility with M: I Fallout. It can be bought from FNow but it’ll stay in FNow and it won’t flow in from UV libraries until FNow adds UV compatibiity.

I redeemed my MI:Fallout in VUDU.
In Fandango when you go under library if you pick "Movies" this equates to Moviesanywhere which doesn't work since Paramount/Lionsgate isn't supported in Moviesanywhere.

If you go under Libraries and pick "Ultraviolet" then you will see MI:fallout.

If you don't get the choice for Ultraviolet be sure to go under your account settings on fandango and link your Fandango account to Ultraviolet. You most likely already have it linked to Moviesanywhere.

I retract my statement. It appears in Fandango if I show the UV movies, but if you actually pick it it tells you to go to UV to view it. How ridiculous it shows up but doesn't let you watch it,lol. Only a couple of movies do that. The other UV movies listed you can watch. Guess they think of ways to make it more confusing than they need to.

They don’t offer UV compatibility with a particular movie? I have other ultraviolet titles in there that work. Why would this one not?

There is no UV logo so no UV compatibility:

There is a UV logo for this title so it has UV compatibility:

That...sucks. This is a very disconcerting sign of things to come. Why won't MGM and Paramount just join MA?!

When I click on M:I Fallout, it gives me the options to buy or rent, but doesn't show that I've purchased it like it does my other UV titles.

When I click on M:I Fallout, it gives me the options to buy or rent, but doesn't show that I've purchased it like it does my other UV titles.

If you do a search for MI: fallout it seems to default to MA and will always show you purchase options for the movie. So you have to go to the library pulldown menu and pick ultraviolet. If you do that it should display the movie (photo is grayed out) and if you click it it will tell you to go to UV. As far as I can tell most movies can be played via fandangonow. But the ones with the grayed out photos cannot.
If you do a search for a movie and it is UV and playable via fandangonow then you will get that option to play it. It's just the ones that are listed in UV, but not playable that seem to default to the MA version that gives you the option to buy or rent.

I included screen captures from my pc and iphone for comparison

That's the whole point of this thread -- just because there's not a UV logo doesn't mean there isn't UV compatibility.
