How do I get Flixter to send me iTunes code instead of Ultraviolet crap?

Browse this forum. Not long ago there was a Flixter UV megatopic which kept cropping up daily.

but they make it so that it's impossible to find their email address on their site

Irrelevant. The vast majority of e-mails are never replied to.

Next time, only buy movies that include an iTunes compatible digital copy.

If people stop buying UV they will get the message.

The Harry Potter thing was because they had not labeled the package properly, this was the same for all the early UV movies.

They don't do it anymore so get over it and just use the Flixster App, they even give you a free movie.

Oh, and Ziatron...Apple is the one that needs to get off their rears and add UV support to iOS & Apple TV, not the other way around.

It is not Apple's responsibility to support third party apps or

proprietary protocols.

If they want to stay competitive then they will do what it s necessary to keep customers. Apple makes it difficult to add support for their devices because they want to keep it locked up so they can spoon feed the masses what they think you should have.

If Apple allowed Flixster onto Apple TV then this would be a non-issue.

Just wanted to point out that this is not the case; there needs to be some way of actually obtaining the digital copy (that you presumably paid for!) from the flixster app, to file in your library, to put on other devices, to watch...

How do you know Flixster even wants to be on AppleTV?

The DvD sticker says WATCH ANYTIME ANYWHERE - but it is inly in small writing INSIDE the sealed case that says not compatible on all devices!

I've been a fan of digital copies in iTunes but this Ultraviolet seems to be a con.

Hi, Graeme,

Sorry to hear you're having trouble watching your UltraViolet library. May I ask which device you're unable to watch with? I'd be glad to help out!

Hi Jesse,

If by any mean Digital Entertainment Group is eager to promote a sensible use for the consumer of the media he paid whatever is the platform, here is the problem.

I bought a Warner movie on BlueRay DVD with a digital copy advertised as iPad compatible.

One major feature of an ipad is to watch movies on my large TV screen through AirPlay.

UV with flixter app doesn't allow this, just insane.

The Flixster app just had an update which supports Airplay to your AppleTV.

and it is.

and to do this, you also need to use an AppleTV.

But you can plug your iPad into your TV using a digital to HDMI cable and view the movie on the TV using the Flixster app.
