Vudu intro’s XL model, upgrades software to v1.3

01:41PM by Wayne Lam

As expected, Vudu introduced the 1TB model of their VOD set-top box to capitalize on their expanding High Def movie library.  At the same time, they’ve also introduced a new firmware upgrade to existing customers.  The most significant change in v1.3 is the capability to archive select movie titles.  Archiving essentially means that movies are “backed-up” on the network and can be re-downloaded at anytime. This upgrade is designed to help customers free up more disk space on their Vudu boxes for additional downloads of newly released movies, hence, more business for Vudu!. Pretty savvy move I must admit!
