Wauki TV drops UV library support

Perhaps not hugely relevant to most people but it was handy as it seems to make most titles available in HD too on their smart tv ap (Samsung anyway) even if purchased in SD.

Hello,

Here at Rakuten Wuaki we always like to be at the forefront of technology developments, and we work hard to bring you the best ways to enjoy your movies and TV shows. As part of this philosophy, we became a retail partner for UltraViolet in several countries across Europe. During that time we have monitored the usage and uptake of the benefits of UltraViolet in these markets, and based on these results we have taken the difficult decision to withdraw from the UltraViolet eco-system.

As of 1st March 2017, we will stop supporting UltraViolet and you will no longer be able to redeem codes at Rakuten Wuaki.

This will not affect your accessibility to any movies that you have purchased at Rakuten Wuaki. These will still be safely stored in your locker, and you can watch from all of your devices in the usual way. You can still download to watch offline in relevant devices too, there are no changes in these areas.

For UltraViolet-enabled movies and TV shows that you have purchased outside of Rakuten Wuaki, you will still be able to enjoy the UltraViolet benefits in other participating UltraViolet services. Visit myuv.com to find out more.

By releasing ourselves from UltraViolet, we can put more time into other improvements of our service for you, in areas that we see that our customers across Europe are using more frequently. So stay tuned for some exciting announcements coming your way soon!
