"@lunasdude: I live in an apartment and have at least a dozen of other wireless networks around me and I still get Instant HD with Vudu (I am not using the new kit -- just a Buffalo G router flashed with Tomato firmware on Vudu end and D-Link's DIR-655 N router on the other end).
I am not privvy to any insider information, but I think Vudu people didn't include wireless out of the box because they were sure that most people would rather use wired connection since it's more reliable and wouldn't have any issues keeping up with HD streams and constant P2P communication going on.
But since quite a few of people have been asking for a wireless model on Vudu forum, they did the next best thing and came up with adapters."
"Art hasn't said what's going to be the tech behind this (they're probably still trying to nail down the details), but based on his previous comments, the basic idea behind this is -- very likely -- to have one large screen and have keyboard part overlayed on top of it."
"@Canadian Impostor: Look, while Video on Demand services may not be to everyone's liking and certainly have their issues, at least one of the providers , Vudu, is taking a step forward and making things a little bit easier on the waller for their customers."
"@Jeffrey McManus: No one is jumping for joy because of the fact that all VOD (Video on Demand) rentals expire after 24 hours (48 hours for independent studios, at least on Vudu)."
"@ars_workerbee2: It has been noted many times that the way AppleTV handles that is illegal and studios weren't very pleased when they found out about it.
As for the news, it's very welcome as I've had to re-rent movies from Vudu a few times."
"It's very hard to judge video quality based on screenshots only, but thank you for trying.
However, I find the chart to be the most useful part here (much better than AppleInsider's one)."
