FINDING MOVIES

OVERVIEW

The VUDU Internet Movie Player employs a powerful discovery engine to help you find great movies

and an extraordinary delivery model so that you may enjoy them instantly. The VUDU HOME SCREEN

is the starting point of this experience.

From the VUDU Home screen, you are able to browse the most popular titles on the service (MOST

WATCHED), access movies recently added to the service (NEW ON VUDU), search for movies by

genre, title, actor or director (EXPLORE CATALOG), access movies recently added to the service

(NEW ON VUDU), view and manage the titles you've already bought or rented or placed on your wish

list (MY VUDU), and access the INFO & SETTINGS menu to find information like Service Quality and

settings like Parental Controls and Audio and Video Settings.

You can always go back to the VUDU Home screen by pressing the VUDU button on the remote.

THE FILM STRIP

The Home screen kick-starts your search for the right movie with a scrollable “film-strip” featuring 20

revolving titles from the catalog—some new releases, some older titles we recommend.

The first two slots of the film-strip on the Home screen will reflect the status of your owned and rented

movies. A movie which is “in progress,” which has been started but not yet finished, will appear in the

Number 1 slot of the film-strip. This could be an owned or rented movie.

The Number 2 slot of the film-strip will show rentals, with priority given to the rental that will expire

first.

If you see a movie in the film-strip (or anywhere else in the user interface) that appeals to you, just click

on its poster and you’ll be taken to its MOVIE DETAILS SCREEN.

MOVIE DETAILS SCREEN & EPISODE DETAILS SCREEN

The Movie Details screen presents important information about each movie, including its genre,

synopsis, running time, country of origin, and a preview, when available. (To begin watching the

preview, click on the “play/pause” button). From this screen, you are able to rent or purchase movies.

From the Movie Details screen, you can select SIMILAR TITLES for a list of movies like it in the

VUDU library.

On the left-hand side of the Movie Details screen, you will see a list (with photos) of the director, select

actors, producers and screenwriters involved with the film. By scrolling over the artist’s name and

selecting it with the remote, you will transform the page into that artist’s FILMOGRAPHY.

An artist’s filmography displays the other movies available on the service featuring that artist. This

unique feature is a great tool for discovering films crafted by artists you are curious about or whom you

already know or love.

Please note that TV shows have EPISODE DETAILS SCREENS. From the Episode Details screen, you

can easily navigate to the previous or next episode without moving back to the season heading.
