The Flixster app should allow you to stream it

Will this be watchable via my Vudu app on my TV?

Nope, the Prologue preview was only on Flixster so as a result it's not playable on Vudu. Vudu doesn't release Rises on their servers till Dec. 4th, so there's the slightest chance it could unlock there on that date, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it

It gives me an error when I try to play it now.

Yep getting an error when trying to stream it through the site, but the downloaded copy (run through the Flixster PC program) I have still works

crap! had I know that i would have used my mystery card to get one of the steelbooks instead of season 4 of smallville...oh well the movie comes out a week from tomorrow so not too long a wait

I'll just wait to watch it in full glorious Blu-Ray

Interesting, thanks I'm gonna check this out and see if I can get it.

The stream is working for me through flixster.com again so I don't think they've killed this completely yet

Hi. Kind of new to DC, but what is stream? I like this new concept on saving a copy online, but where is the file location on the harddrive? I have a toshiba with windows 7. The file I see is for 1KB only.
If I can locate the file on hard drive, can I copy it to my psp?

Also, I have batman begins DC. Can Digital copy/flixster be transfer from one computer to another? The reason I ask because Im planing on buying a new computer within a few months. Do i lose all my digital copies of movies?

Sorry, but I dont know much about streaming. I love buying movies to have in my collection, but wouldnt hurt to have it on my psp or to burn a copy for dvd.

By stream, I mean playing it through Flixster.com. Once you login you can play Ultraviolet movies in your browser. Alternatively there's a program you can download which allows you to download a copy to your HDD for offline viewing. I'm not sure where it is with Win 7, but in the program at the upper right hand corner there's a drop down menu with a preferences option. It'll tell you the location of the movie on your HDD and let you choose a differenent location.

Unfortunately Ultraviolet/Flixster is fairly limited in where you can access your movies, and there's no option to copy to a PSP. As for using the digital copies on other computers that should be fine. Just login to Flixster on the new computer and/or download the program and your movie collection is still there to watch

Also make sure to merge your Flixster account with Vudu. VUDU provides HDX (1080P) versions of some Ultraviolet movies, and I just find the playback and interface to be much better. It's made UV copies much more appealing. Plus it works on the PS3. Maybe one day they'll add a PSP/Vita app ones of these days. I believe you'll have to register with Vudu and then merge the two through Flixster or Ultraviolet. I can't recall exactly how it works but you should be able to find more info at the official UV site: http://www.uvvu.com/

I'm streaming it to my iPad as I type! Thanks ssjmichael!
I did redeem the Prologue a long time ago though.

Seems to be working. Picked up TDK steelbook an hour ago and trying this...sure enough its like the picture says...2.48gb download. Already owned TDK in dvd and BLU so pretty much got the UV copy for $10 bucks practically. Still want the BLu but not in a hurry now to get it...thanks OP!

UPDATE: Dark Knight Rises is playing as promised

good to hear

I linked my ultraviolet account with CinemaNow and I'm able to stream the movie through my XBOX.

I was just going to mention the same thing. Also of note, my SB was purchased about 6 months ago so if you have an old code give it a shot.

I just added the Cinemanow app for the PS3 and Rises is in my library too but none of my movies appear to play.

Once I downloaded the app, the same problem happened to me. I exited the app and once I started the app it worked. I hope that helps.

Thought I'd mention this is still working, downloading the movie now. Thanks for the heads up.

Me too. Thanks. I was doing something wrong (or not doing something at all, actually) until I saw this thread and was able to get TDKR to work!
