I wanted to give everyone a little update on that status of the UV format.
There are now 6 million people using UV. It took over 3 years for DVD to reach an installed base of 5 million homes.
More than 7200 titles are now available. In the last 4 months, 3 new studios (Lionsgate, Fox, and Dreamworks) began launching UV titles.
The Common File Format is being tested by retailers/streaming providers, and should be starting to deploy in the first quarter of next year.
Vudu is available on more devices than ever.
New retailers are launching services by the end of the year. Other's will launch in the first quarter of next year. Here are a few that I know of.
B&N is launching their Nook video service next week that is UV compatible.
Redbox Instant will be launching a Netflix style service that will be UV compatible by the end of the year. This is the one I am most excited about!
Rovi is planning to launch a home-based disc to digital feature soon with certain streaming providers. M-Go, a service offered by Technicolor and Dreamworks is one rumored service to have this feature, and is planning a launch late this year, or very early next year.
Anchor Bay is now offering titles in the UV format. Also some Dreamworks live action titles have been added, in addition to the hundreds of Fox titles that were added less than 2 months ago.
Flixster is now able to play many more titles, after it's agreement with Paramount.
