    HBO Max HBO Max (Official Thread)

    So I have a Dolby Vision Roku TV. I've always played titles in Dolby Vision just fine on HBO Max. I went to play The Batman, and it would only play in HDR10, and looked super muddy at that. I went and tried Zack Snyder's Justice League and WW84, and got the same issue. I ended up just buying The...

    Disney+ Disney+ Streaming Service (Official Thread)

    I'm getting frustrated with this as well. I have a TV that can technically do HDR10, but in practice the picture is unacceptably dark (and Disney+ is the worst offender by far). I prefer to keep the HDR turned off, and I can still get 4K resolution from every Roku app except Disney+ . It seems...

    Disney+ Disney+ Streaming Service (Official Thread)

    HDR10 only, but yes. I watch HDR content on Vudu (and recently Netflix). Now, to be honest I don't see much difference and I don't quite understand what the big deal is, but my TV isn't top tier by any means. I checked out the new master of Star Wars: A New Hope and it looks great, it's an...

    Disney+ Disney+ Streaming Service (Official Thread)

    I just set up my account at home and nothing is coming through in 4K. I'm using the latest Roku streaming stick, and I stream 4K all the time from other apps. All I see is "HD 5.1" on all the titles, even the ones that are supposed to stream 4K. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

    Press Release Announcing the launch of MOVIES ANYWHERE

    The link between Movies Anywhere and Fandango NOW appears to be broken. I purchased a few movies on Vudu, and they populated to all my accounts except FN. I disconnected Vudu and FN and reconnected them both, and now ALL my MA titles have disappeared from FN (I didn't have many titles purchased...

    Press Release Announcing the launch of MOVIES ANYWHERE

    Why would that be? All my digital movies are in Vudu or FandangoNOW and both those accounts are linked to MA. When Paramount and Lionsgate get on board they should just populate to each other. I only have a few titles from those studios anyway. I never did Disc-2-Digital.

    Linking FandangoNOW was the last piece of the puzzle for me. I've closed my Ultraviolet account.

    Apparently linking to FandangoNOW is causing all purchased UHD titles from FN to downgrade to HD. My guess is they took it offline until they can fix the issue.

    Movies Anywhere is currently experiencing a complete outage. How convenient .

    Press Release Announcing the launch of MOVIES ANYWHERE

    I have the exact same problem. Let me know if you find a solution, because neither iTunes or MA has been any help to me. iTunes says it's just not connected and there's nothing they can do. MA won't answer me when I asked if there's some way for them to force a disconnect on their end. I feel stuck.

    Press Release Announcing the launch of MOVIES ANYWHERE

    I've noticed that while my Vudu titles populated to other providers (except iTunes, I'm having the same problem as everyone else there), none of the movies that were only in my Amazon and Google accounts have shown up in Vudu. There is also one Vudu title, Batman v Superman, that should have...

    Studios to Join Disney Movies Anywhere Platform?

    Connected with Vudu about 4 hours ago. My Vudu titles are showing up in other services, but not a single title from any other service has populated to Vudu yet.

    Studios to Join Disney Movies Anywhere Platform?

    Where did you get that specific time? On Vudu's forums, they were promising people "within the hour" in the wee hours of the morning. I'm not saying I don't LIKE it, but it does seem odd that they launched without all their partners being 100% ready, especially considering it was more or less...

    Studios to Join Disney Movies Anywhere Platform?

    The Play app finally came up around 6:30am. I linked Google and Amazon just fine, but Vudu, where the majority of my movies are, was not ready, as others are finding out. Wish I could say I'm surprised. Vudu seems to be doing everything it possibly can to drive customers away lately. You would...

    Studios to Join Disney Movies Anywhere Platform?

    I keep reading this was supposed to launch the evening of the 11th, but it's now the morning of the 12th and nothing. That movies anywhere site only shows the looping logo, and that's when I request the desktop site, otherwise on mobile it's a blank screen. There's no app available in Google...
