So I desided to give the app a try since my HDMI cable came in finaly. After waiting over an hour for the movie to load (on wifi hooked up to a cable modem) I hooked up the HDMI cable and started the movie....whats this, just a blue screen on my TV. Verizon and blockbuster couldn't have left this function out, could they? So I spent another 10 min looking for settings with no luck. I decided to look for the movie with a file manager, here it is in the "blockbuster folder" selected to play it with the native player. Now its worki......nope "can not play file". no way!!!.
Yup, not only is the HDMI feed limited to photos and videos but thise videos do NOT include anything from the blockbuster app and the blockbuster app it self does not support HDMI.
If I am not going to be able to play the video on the TV when am I going to watch a movie from this app....on the plain, I don't know about you but I don't normally have over an hour of wifi access as I wait to board a plain. Guess I am going to have to really plan ahead for that application to even be remotely useful.
Why did they lock this down? funny you should ask. I did read somewhere that blockbuster said its because of the product licencing. Ironic that I can get more features out of a pirated movie than I can a legally rented one
