Yes Cinemanow is available on PS3 and works pretty good. The only issue is that some US codes are not in the Cinemanow library and don't show up as available to stream. It seems to be getting better recently, but there are still a few titles that I can not watch.

You will have an IP problem.

You need to reflect a US based IP when connecting to VUDU. Some work some don't. VUDU is killing the work around IP supplier by supplier as time goes on.

Redeeming through Firefox using an IP spoof is simple with a firefox addon (Chrome has an addon too).
Spoofing your main IP requires a service you will likely pay monthly for. Was very easy to do, hardest part was contacting my ISP to get "into" my Router/modem...It is an unsupported sevice, if it bombs, its your problem (no biggie just change settings back), and they won't help you set it up, you have to figure it out yourself (very easy). Hardest part like I said was making the phone call hoping they would give me the USER ID and password to log in to the router/modem, so you can make the changes.

Yeah, that was my understanding as well, which is why I brought up IP issues.

CinemaNow iteself is lagging in it's catalogue, I was losing about 10-15% of my titles because they didn't have them in their library.

PS3- PS3 seems to be garbage for proper HD 1080 streaming, I got hiccups and freezing all the time every movie had to be switched to SD streaming to watch un-interrupted.
ROKU- I got myself a ROKU, and Maybe have had 2 skips to date, rock solid streaming, with everything in HDX (VUDU's 1080P). I bought and activated the unit when I was in Florida to make sure I got all the American channels.

I found (with the help of a forum member) a service...Am off to the races. I use Disc 2 Digital now and have added maybe 150 movies from my personal collection to my VUDU/UV library as well as the many current movies I am interested in from the UV trading thread.
