Ever worry UV or Vudu, Flixster, etc. will start charging fees or shutdown??

I will never give over complete control to 1's and 0's that can vanish without a trace. I'll always keep my physical media even though I enjoy the convenience of digital.

People seem to forget, it's all Digital now, so whether you Stream from a Server or Disc the 1's and 0's are here to stay. UV is not going anywhere, and only going to get bigger. I don't buy any Movie now unless it has UV, Physical Media is on the way out. UHD Discs are expensive, and when Movies go to 8K and 16K I'm sure they won't put them on Discs.

What people should be concerned with now are their ISP, and it better be a FTTP Provider. Fiber GigaBit Speeds are going to be needed to Stream Movies in Full Resolution. So I see the Future where these Movies are loaded on to Servers for access to Cinemas and Home Theaters. Don't worry about Streaming going anywhere, but how you will access that Server.

Stupid question from new Vudu user:

Do all UV codes work on Vudu?

A few codes only work on Flixster, though they will port via UV over to Vudu. That's why it's a good idea to also have a Flixster account.

Every code I have used that is Flixster only was a Warner code, and was also an older code slip. NOTE that codes do not usually expire like the code slip says, most are still valid well after the "expiration" date (I have redeemed codes that "expired" 4 years ago).

Wow that really helped.

I decided to try redeeming a UV for Born On the Fourth of July that was expired according to the date on the ticket and what do you know...it worked!

Good times.

Unfortunately, I reckon most are faced with a monopoly/duopoly of phone/cable providers to get their internet service. Until ISPs are required by government to provide a set minimum broadband speed, the only solution to slow internet right now is moving to a different location (impractical) or an expensive (possibly unaffordable) business line.
