Vudu has gone DMA! (1 Viewer)

Nothing official yet but take a look at Disney titles - they now display the blue Disney logo the same way other titles show a UV one... There still isn't an option on the DMA site to link to Vudu though.

They are just getting ready for it. Good sign, but I don't think it will happen till next Tuesday.

I wonder if there is any chance that the DMA titles will work with the "Share My Movies" option so that any linked Vudu accounts will be able to view them too?

Now they just need to announce a Digital HD release of all the Star Wars movies, as was rumored to happen this Fall. Guardians of the Galaxy would be a good tie-in title.

Fox owns the home video rights for the first 6 films until 2020...

Actually they own the original movie forever. It's been discussed ad nauseum on other threads, but the general consensus is that if there is money to be made, it will happen. Fox can't do anything without Disney/Lucasfilm either, distribution rights mean very little if you're not given anything to distribute. Given the choice between no more money at all from Star Wars, and sharing with Disney, I think they would opt to share. It's very possible that a deal has already been made. Remember how taken by surprise everyone was when the Disney sale was announced? They are good at keeping these things quiet until they are good and ready.

The Vudu/DMA link is now live, FYI.
There's a DMA-branded link to Vudu's Disney movies on their Collections area, but still nothing to link the two accounts...What exactly is your point?

You have been able to link the two accounts since last night...

Yep, silly me, I was going in through Vudu's end--
The link's on DMA's end, and you get a free copy of Wreck-It Ralph for linking.
(Which I already had, from the 3D disk.)

Well it appears that DMA is having some growing pains, just like UV did when it started. I redeemed a DMA movie this morning, and it didn't sync to my account for a few hours, so I unlinked my DMA account. Then I linked them back together, and the movie showed up. The problem is, now all the other DMA movies (about 25) are completely gone from vudu. This is against the terms of service which state that if you unlink account your existing movies will stay in your provider account. So something is wrong with linking right now.

When I linked my Vudu account the first day that was offered, I remember it taking a few hours for everything to show up. I'm sure you'll fine.

Are Disney titles unavailable for sharing (if I have shared my Vudu library with a family member?)
