VUDU Adds UHD Support for Apple TV So You Can Stream Disney Films in 4K

Can anyone confirm if the sound issues with the Vudu app are fixed? When att 4K first was released the sound quality from the vudu app was horrendous. Very muffled sounding on my home theater set up

I believe that issue was fixed long ago. Vudu had to fix it on their end, not in the app.

Thanks I’ll have to try it out love my atv 4K but the sound quality was so bad I was using My Xbox one X for anything with vudu

Is DV/HDR10 supported in 1080p as it is in iTunes and Netflix? Or does the ATV have to be set to 4K in order to get DV?

Just played around with my settings and can confirm both DV and HDR are supported at 1080p

Yes. Unlike iTunes, Vudu does not upgrade any of your existing movies to 4K. If you want the 4K versions, you’ll have to re-buy them at the 4K price.

So if I walk into Best Buy, buy a physical disc of Black Panther in 4K with a digital copy, go home, enter the code into VUDU, will I be able to open the VUDU app on Apple TV 4K and watch that movie in 4K?

Yes (or a redeem on MA). I would always check the 4K sheet to know for sure based on the movie: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZsJkCX4DIv2oeCKQ7zp2ArkR1qKEXCUuCMBbUtHtmh4/edit#gid=0

FYI, redeems can be a mess! So be sure to investigate first.

I don't know about redeeming on MoviesAnywhere. I have several titles redeemed through MA, and they do not show up as 4K on VUDU. Maybe it's because they're Disney titles? But I'm sure some are from other studios.

Only recently has MA fixed the most recent Disney releases. Before MA, Vudu did accept Pirates 5 and Cars 3 in 4K....but when MA came around, all of that broke.

Always check the sheet I linked to since that is always updated with real info.

Also, checking the redeem quality on MA is really easy. Just launch this page in an INCOGNITO browser window (a window where you aren't logged into MA): https://moviesanywhere.com/redeem

Enter the code and it will say what quality you are redeeming. If it says 4K, then you are good to go. Any retailer that has it in 4K will give you 4K.
