    UV shutting down 7/31

    I imagine the long lead time on this close down is to make sure all the dependencies can be recoded.

    UV shutting down 7/31

    But let's take 'frozen' or 'moana' my kids have watched that tens of times on tablets, roku etc in UHD / HD, each time about 2Gb+ of data. So is K more data intensive than a Vudu or is it a one time hit instead of iterative, also can use data over night not at peak bandwidth times. Further...

    UV shutting down 7/31

    While I agree with you that K is bitperfect BD and UHD stream has additional compression or different audio or is not 'identical', the studios would put them in the same bucket of UHD/4k. On the second point I said digital double dipping. Not a physical plus a digital. All this is driven by...

    I'm sure a requirement of MA is reciprocity. Also buying and getting an MA code would look a lot like digital double dipping

    What I want to know is as a potential future purchaser of a K system how do I link my UV rights now to grandfather my 1000 UV movies onto a K system.

    In fact go the other direction. Make sure your UV account is linked to every playback option it can be linked to. Fandango K paramount FITS Vudu Then vpn to the UK or somewhere and link Flixster Video

    Wired whole home audio system

    Control4 controller, matrix and power amps is also a nice setup up with many local audio sources, Pandora, napster, tune in, local media, Spotify Connect, Amazon etc. They also have an awesome kscape driver to integrate the video into the audio.

    Best 4k HDR titles

    First sentence - Frikkin autocorrect. I hear your concern and trust but verify is a good mantra however those users generating this content are often a lot closer to the product than you think. Personally the info passes the sniff test. Certainly discouraged me from buying trolls or sing in 4k.

    Best 4k HDR titles

    True but are there any you discrepancies you perceive? It highlighted to me most all vfx and all cgi movies are still 2k. You need to quadruple processing power to generate in 4k Toy Story is not even HD

    New Store Content

    Disney just re-released a whole boat load of titles in dvd+BD+Digital Copy. Likely triggered the new. Hopefully outside the Kscape ecosystem this will make Disney code reselling drop in price, especially the Google Split.

    I know. Certainly saved me buying upscale content when my devices can do the same job, especially animation.
