I couldn't find the discussion, so I figured I would make this thread and we can discuss it in here. I just tried to redeem Boardwalk Empire Season 2 in Flixster and (after getting an error that invalidated the code) it showed up on UVVU, but hasn't shown up on Flixster.

They will assuming that the titles in question are 1) UV compliant and 2) Vudu has the title listed with the UV logo.

Here's a recent example, with Game of Thrones Season 2 you can redeem your digital copy through Flixster, which has it listed as UV complaint, thus it shows up on your UVVU.com list. However, Vudu currently doesn't have this title listed with the UV logo thus even though this title is in your UV list it won't show up on Vudu. When and if Vudu adds the UV logo to this title then yes the title will then show up on Vudu.

Now the work around for this specific title is that HBO allows you to redeem another copy of the digital rights on Vudu as well which grants you Vudu rights. But these are two different and distinct things.

The logo that shows up on UVVU is the logo of the service which was used to redeem the digital copy and not where it's available to stream. So if you redeem the title through Flixster the Flixster logo will show or if you redeem the UV title through Vudu then the Vudu logo will be displayed.

So what is the deal with HBO shows not porting over to VUDU? I thought most if not all movies/shows redeemed via Flixster would do so.

Vudu currently doesn't have UV rights for Boardwalk Empire Season 1 or 2. If Vudu doesn't display the UV logo on those titles then they won't be able for streaming from Vudu even if they're on your UV list.
