I always redeem UV codes, so I can share my Vudu titles with family. As for myself, I have watched only two of my Vudu films online. Each had no subtitles on the Blu-ray, but did have them on Vudu. Didn't expect that!

I usually throw them out.

I entered a lot of codes that were supposed to be expired and they all worked ! Did you try the expired ones ?

Yes... some worked but others did not. Bummer too because there were some good ones I wanted. Oh well.

Having the disc I see no reason to ever want to sit at a desk and see the movie on my computer or on a 4" phone screen.

True, but when you are on the road or vacation, you can watch your movies online. Whenever I go on vacation, I take my laptop and an HDMI cable with me. Attach the laptop to the TV, connect to VUDU for my collection or hit Netflix, and wah-la, instant library to watch. If you never go on the road for any reason, then no, not a benefit.

Most of our travel time is in the USA. We are usually very busy except in the evening when we are in the hotel. I actually really enjoy watching local TV to get a flavour of the area. I find there are several networks we don't get in Canada like Fox News that have to be seen to be believed.

We all know I'm sure, that watching a digital copy doesn't = watching on a computer screen or phone right? I have 1400+ digital movies and only watch on a big screen.

Exactly. I have 1,200 digital movies and have never watched one on a computer or phone. I watch everything on a 65in UHD TV, some with Dolby Atmos sound.

If anything, redeem your codes so you are able to share your collection with friends and family who aren't fortunate enough to purchase so many discs. Passing that up out of spite for a format is just silly.
