I have Strike Back only on Flixter, would not play, said content unavailable, movies played fine.

Does it allow HD?

Interesting. I will have to check this out when I get home. I use Vudu for everything, but it is always fun to check out how others implement UV collections. I do not like the way M-Go and Target Ticket handle it, as TT does not separate my TV shows, and M-Go doesn't even list them.

You probably won't be happy with the Flixster app either. It's just one long row of movies and shows. It'll take me about 5 minutes to scroll through my entire collection.

Thanks. Saves me from adding the app. I am so glad Vudu does this part right.

Nice to know. Now I can watch my collection on my TV.

Now that I have time to play with it I have come to find out that this app sucks, none of my TV shows(Big Bang, Arrow, Fringe, Bates Motel, POI, etc) plays on it.

Also I really hate how you cannot sort movies on it, I have almost 700 films in my UV locker and it takes forever to find what you want to watch.

Amazing how Vudu gets it so right and everyone else (Target, MGO, Flixster) gets it so wrong.

I understand why non Warner Brothers produced TV Shows won't play on the Flixster App for Roku due to being a different company but The Big Bang Theory is produced by Warner Brothers.

A little off topic:
Google made an official YouTube app for the Roku 3 only.

Disney has made apps for The Disney Channel, Disney XD, and Disney Junior. There is also a Watch Espn app that you can watch most Espn connect on including live sports. These require a subscription through your,friends ,or family's TV provider.

AE has made apps for the AE, History Channel, and Lifetime. Right now you can watch some episodes that are 3-4 weeks old for free without a tv subscription. AE's list of TV providers is mainly small cable and dsl companies that I haven't heard of. For the Xbox 360 version of the apps Directv is added to the smaller companies. Hopefully this will change when contracts with the TV providers are renewed.

Does anyone have hbo shows redeemed directly on flixster show up on this app? I may get the flixster redemption for upcoming GOT S3 and am hoping I can now watch it on tv via this app.

You can't watch tv shows on the Flixster app for Roku. They may change that soon I hope.
