Aaaand I have tried and deleted CinemaNow. The app is terrible. Each page takes forever and a day to load and your UV titles are shown on a single line that isn't even alphabetized. Not to mention that of my 711 UV titles on Vudu, only 630 show up here. Back to Vudu...

Yep, it's awful. Takes about a minute to load my UV titles, then shows an error message when trying to play most of them. The ones that do play only give me 2-channel PCM sound.

Yes, we are badly in need of surround sound!

They used to offer Dolby Digital Plus (same as Vudu). No idea why they dropped it.

I heard CinemaNow switched to DTS Express for their recent titles. Problem is, the app in my TV doesn't support that so those come out in 2-channel PCM (the older movies still play in Dolby Digital), and nothing plays in 5.1 at all on the Roku. Interface on both is terrible anyways (the Roku is at least somewhat nice-looking but ridiculously slow), don't see any reason to use it given the other options that are out there.
