VUDU on the LG BD390 review
This recent review on Engadget shows how VUDU has done a complete switcheroo from a hardware provider to a video services company. For those of us blessed with a super high speed Internet connection, VUDU streams “real” HD movies through the LG BD390 Blu-ray player with the best audio and video quality of all the current over-the-top VOD services.
