I can't make an account. Keeps saying there is a problem. I never had an M-Go account.

Went ahead and got it, even though I have it on vudu already. Never know.

Yeah, if FandangoNow improves it's interface and how it displays UV copies, and adds special features and starts doing sales or tie-ins with movie ticket orders through Fandango, they'll become the leading UV-enabled digital provider. That's a lot of "ifs." Heh

I considered it, but I use Vudu more than FandangoNow (which I never have used lol) so I don't know if doing FN will mess up being able to watch on Vudu on my smart tv. I know it's UV but you never know if they decide to only show what's purchased on their site.

I'm surprised it's FREE free and not free with purchase of ID4-2 ticket

It links to your vudu account.

Yeah, Vudu lets you watch whatever has traveled over to it via UV. Doesn't matter if you bought it directly through Vudu. In fact, if you've ever done Disc-to-Digital, it requires UV, which means it's likely getting sent to Ultraviolet before Vudu. But another example is CinemaNow and Flixster redemptions travel to Vudu if they're UV, and once it travels to Vudu, it's yours.

I got Mad Max Fury Road through a CinemaNow code and have it on Vudu because of it. I tried redeeming my UV code from the Blu-ray on top of it, and it tells me I already have it. It won't let you have exact duplicate individual title redemptions.

So have at it basically. Hope some of that info helps. I know UV can sometimes seem intimidating.

Up until December 2014 when I got a smart tv, I legitimately thought UV was just a place that let you redeem DC but had to still download them since iTunes redemption had already been around, so I there was a ton I just threw out and never redeemed lol and around the same time I found out that it streamed, I started just selling them instead

I was going to do it on FN too but it says I already own it so I guess that's that lol

master gandhi

I see what you're saying now. You already had it on Vudu. In that case, yeah, it's found under the UV section on FandangoNow, which isn't a section I like to visit on there. Actually I never use the app either. I just had an account with M-Go in case I ever wanted something, but never liked it. This was the first movie I bought on there. At least it was free. Heh

Thanks OP. Never seen the original, and have been considering trying to watch it with the sequel coming out. With it being UV eligible, I jumped on this and created an account.

GuyIncognito

It allowed you to create an account? It won't let me

Evil

Well, this was enough to finally get me to create an account with them.

Until the next freebie, FandangoNow...

F34R

True lol. Goals. hehe

I tried creating an account, only to be reminded that I already have an account lol. Sent the forgot password request, done. lol I've apparently never used it beyond creating the account.

Zorkel567

Yeah. It asked for email and a password, and it created it for me. No problems here. Then I linked it to my UV account.
