I thought I read that Universal is also on board. I agree about them using Vidity insead of CFF, but for Vidity to fit into the UV model, there needs to be accounts associated with purchases. So maybe you can use Vidity both within and outside the UV system?

I still like to know where UV is going to fit into all this. Given that Warner one of the biggest driving forces behind both Vitidy and UV, I can't believe that would just change course or make them incompatible. Maybe Vitidy will be used more for 4k and UV used mainly for HD?

Not true. The comment refers to content that is CURRENTLY available via Vidity. Samsung has been beta-testing but with the wide roll-out, you'll be able to enjoy Vidity content on any TV that has an HDMI connection. You only need the Vitidy-approved device and that's it. I expect UHD BD...

You won't have to buy the 4K version. If you want you can buy the HD or just the SD version. Vidity isn't just 4k, it's all resolutions.

The same can be said for Blu-ray. Netflix 4k bit rate is around 15 mbps, while the Sony 4K downloads are about 50 mbps. I don't know about M-Go, but I've heard their files are even bigger. So yeah, there is a big difference between streaming and downloading. I would expect Vidity to be on...

The comparisons you read were likely regarding Netflix 4K streaming, not 4K downloads. Since Netflix bit rates are much lower, most of the benefits from increased resolution will be offset by the lower bit rate. I'd say Netflix 4k is roughly equal to Blu-ray, but that's still a whole lot...

There are some unanswered questions, because on the face of it, it all looks too good to be true. No accounts, no internet and free copying from one device to another? There's gotta be a catch somewhere.

There are no accounts, so devices don't need to be activated. As long as a device is Vidity-approved, then it's good to go until the device fails. No worrying about anybody removing support. From above...

Won't Vividy be a part of UV, or is that not possible because UV requires accounts?
