Vudu is an excellent service to watch your favorite movie or TV show. Unlike other streaming services, you don’t need to purchase any monthly or annual subscription package for media content. You just need to pay for the title you want. Depending on the title, the rent or purchase price will vary. If you’re a Roku user, you can get the Vudu app officially from the Channel Store. All the payments will be charged through your Roku account.
After renting a title, Vudu will give you 30 days to watch that title. Once you started watching, you have to watch that title within 24-48 hours (depending on the title). When you purchase a title, you can stream it as long as you have a Vudu account.
Before jumping into the installation steps, sign up for an Vudu account.
