Anything you have that has an Ultra-Violet, meaning one of those Blu-Ray's that has a digital copy that comes with it, can be easily added to Vudu, simply by entering the code displayed on the box. The service's biggest support is Disney, and with their pull in the industry I am sure other studios will sign on soon. Hopefully, the missing Hollywood studios will see the benefits and sign agreements sooner rather than later. There is a minor set back for now, some movie studios do not support this (Paramount comes to mind, for instance Varsity Blues shows up in Vudu but does not show up on iTunes). So for instance, if you buy Star Trek (2009) on iTunes, it will now show up in Google Play, Amazon Prime and Vudu libraries. Also, right now they give you up to 5 free movies for linking accounts. This is a free service that lets you link your different video retailer accounts together combining your purchases from each service into the other. Then I found the Movies Anywhere service ( ) and my problem was solved. Without a solution to getting my iTunes purchased movies into a way that these new TVs could access the movies, I was stuck and my nearly 300+ movie collection was essentially wasted for these new TVs. A Roku or Amazon Fire Stick sure, but not an Apple TV just because of form factor. We are thinking about adding a few other TVs to the house, and some won't even have a space to plug in an Apple TV. I also wanted all purchases to show up in all libraries.

I wanted the ability to price shop movies on Google Play, iTunes, Amazon Prime Video, & Vudu. There service for streaming your purchased movies has been extremely reliable, and honestly anytime I've had trouble it usually turns out to be my internet but I wanted more.

We've purchased Apple TVs for each room, each new generation they get upgraded and my movies are locked into iTunes. As an early adopter of purchasing movies online, particularly via iTunes, I've often felt very locked in to their environment.
