Managing music must be done in a playlist - you can't just drag and drop songs onto your device. What I do not like: you can't really do podcasts, you can't really do videos. What I do like: I can wirelessly download playlist, music continues to play even when I'm syncing! I can stream a lot of music, although the more obscure ones aren't available. Seems kind of expensive, but then again, I'm not the target market for this service. Can't really do much on my iPod, since I'm not really to shell out $10 a month for Spotify on mobile. So, I have an account, I've been playing around with it. Ryan was raving about the service back in 2009, three years later, Spotify finally comes to the USA. Note that only Roku 3 will have YouTube at this time.
#LINK VUDU AND FLIXSTER UPDATE#
UPDATE : As of mid-December 2013, Roku now supports YouTube. Imagine paying extra to access YouTube, you fanboys love it. Nothing will work unless you pay Microsoft an extra $80 a year for their so-called "Gold" service. If you are thinking about getting an Xbox instead: don't bother. PS3 is the only machine that plays Blu-Ray, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Vudu, YouTube, Hulu Plus… and because the hardware was built for games - it's so much smoother and faster than any stand-alone box I've played around with. I believe, looking at the trends, that Apple TV will introduce a new product that will ultimately support "apps" based on their iPad iOS apps.Ĭurrently, the only media box that does it all is my PS3, which I'm quite happy with - but there is a huge $300 price to entry that is off putting to most people. The LEAST attractive box is the Apple TV… but it does support their iTunes ecosystem, and for some people, that's really all that matters. Roku 2 also doesn't really play local content (it doesn't even support AVI) and what kind of box doesn't support YouTube?īased on the $70 retail price and its functionality, at least to me, it seems like my next streaming box that I will purchase. Note: Roku 2 is the only box that works with Amazon Prime, but I'm sure Amazon will eventually make their way to WD. You can read more about UltraViolet here. Apple TV is the only one that supports iTunes purchased movies and "Air Play", but if you don't live in the Apple Universe, a workaround is with UltraViolet (via Flixster or Vudu). So here's the breakdown: WD TV is the only one that supports DLNA. YES (limited to Apple Wireless Keyboard only) For the most part, I'm lumping Flixster and Vudu together as one item. What that means is movies you own on UV can be accessed on Vudu - unless there are rights issues (some movies are exclusive to Vudu or vice-versa). NOTE: Flixster (Ultraviolet) is compatible with VUDU if you link your two accounts together. So how does it stack up against their competitors? I've put together a checklist of things I'm interested in (Amazon Prime, DLNA support, YouTube…), everything else I don't really care about. With these streaming media boxes, you can listen to Pandora, MOG, Spotify, or local music (via DLNA or AirPlay).Īnyway, Western Digital just entered into the market for streaming media box, which is a natural evolution from their already-established WD TV player (Play now supports YouTube and Vudu, etc).

The box often delay playing by pre-downloading content via DLNA and can take up to 3 minutes to play back a 720p file. After Sony updated their software, it now supports H.264 streaming - but it's very slow. I was rather disappointed in Sony Media Streaming for $50.

How to Transfer Your Libraryįirst, log into UltraViolet and choose the Retailer Services option.As you know, I'm always looking for 'the next thing' when it comes to watching my video content on the big screen at home. Your TV shows will transfer to Vudu as well (but won’t make the jump to the other services with your Movies).
#LINK VUDU AND FLIXSTER MOVIE#
The good news is that list includes VUDU, which means you can transfer your movie library to Movies Anywhere. UltraViolet states that you have until the July 31st to connect a partner retailer to preserve your library. Combined with the might of Amazon Video, Google Play, Vudu, and others, Movies Anywhere became an unbeatable service, as evidenced in part by this shutdown notice. But all that changed when Disney unveiled Movies Anywhere, an expansion of its Disney Movies Anywhere service.
#LINK VUDU AND FLIXSTER CODE#
Unless it was a Disney movie, chances are if you bought a disc that came with a digital code, that code was for the UltraViolet service. UltraViolet was all but the de-facto method for digital copies of your movies for years. You don’t have to lose your content though you can connect VUDU and move your library to Movies Anywhere. UltraViolet, one of the largest digital rights locker for your movies (at one point, anyway), is shutting down on July 31st.
