Your review was excellent-it said that Vudu's HD wasn't perfect. Your responders have also been amazingly good-they said that you are right but that Vudu does other things so much better than others out there, that it is really very, very good, even if not perfect. It is fun, it is easy to use. It's remote control is so good it's been cited by a number on their best ten of the year for technology (New York Times and others I think. With Netflix, you do not see the preview, you do not can a selected list of only good movies, it is three times slower than Vudu to make selections, and it seemed very good until I got a Vudu box. The absolute best thing they have going is a bunch of filters you put in place in 10 seconds. If I want a chic flick, I throw that filter in. Then \i put on top of that that I only want to see 4+and 5+ critics rated movies. I don't have to look at any crap. \i don't get something in the mail that I know I hate in 30 seconds. With Vudu, it's much better!!!!
I'd rather pay Vudu once for their box and a small $6 rental than $35 forever for high def and have to spend $900 for an HD-DVD player and only be able to get half of the movies. I know that you need 3 Mbps for basic VUDU (just call your carrier- I got mine upped for no charge.) I'm not sure but I think you'll need to call your carrier to increase to 5 Mbps for high def (probably cost you $5-7 per month more.
