I am experiencing “buffering” when watching VUDU movies? 

VUDU movies are delivered over your Internet connection. As such, they can 

be subject to fluctuations in your Internet connection at your Internet Service 

Provider (ISP) and within your home network. If you experience buffering: 

How fast is your Internet connection? 

Watching movies on VUDU requires a broadband Internet connection of at 

least 1 Mbps. As the resolution of the movie increases, so does the bandwidth 

necessary to support it. For example, if you try to watch 1080p HDX on a 4 

Mbps Internet connection, you will experience frequent buffering, because 

your connection is not sufficient to support 1080p streaming. Please see the 

bandwidth (i.e. speed) requirements below.

If you are not sure what speed your Internet connection is, use the network 

speed test by going to;

My VUDU > Info & Settings > Network Speed Test 

Once you have determined your speed, use the connection speed chart above 

to help you select the right VUDU format to watch.
