Vudu/UV Issues - Let's get them fixed!

We want all titles in the highest format available in all vendors, but adding them to a list to artificially make it seem like a problem related to UV closing is inappropriate advocacy contrary to the point.

Seemingly the UV closure only impacts TV shows, Liongate movies, Paramount movies, and occasional film exclusives to closed vendors. There might be another few odd titles but most of the list is not relevant here, unless I'm totally misunderstanding things. Good intentions but the list is a mess.

As I stated, I think a lot of it has to do with sharing aspects. So family members can get access to some of the resolutions, and in the case of some titles, port better resolutions to our MA accounts. I certainly have some titles in UV with higher resolutions than I currently own on VUDU, and I would like the two people I share UV with to be able to access those resolutions as well.

Not all of them unless FandangoNow starts porting UV imported titles to MA during their shuffling, and again, family sharing.

It does/will impact resolutions for multiple studios, and again, family sharing, but I do agree that some titles are far more important than others.
