Disney Movies Anywhere changing to Movies Anywhere?

[BillSears]

Has anyone set up your new account yet? I just got an email saying that Disney and others are combining into a new service.

So how did the new service work out for you?

Yep, I set it up. I got my 5 free digital movies for adding two retailers (although I already owned Big Hero 6), and downloaded the app on my phone and tablet, but for almost a week, I couldn't get the movies to play on either device. But then when I tried again on Thursday, all of a sudden it worked! One of my Disney movies isn't showing up in my library, although it is showing up in the transaction history. I e-mailed them about it, but so far I've only gotten a response indicating that they've received my e-mail. I can however watch the movie through Amazon Instant Video, which is the retailer I linked to my Disney Movies Anywhere account, so it's not a total loss,

I set it up today. So far I've linked in my Vudu, I guess I should add my Amazon too. It just feel weird giving someone else access to my Amazon account.

I would assume that the only access they have is to your movie library, and I like the fact that I now have a way to watch my Vudu movies on my Kindle, which I didn't before. (I bought a Samsung tablet mainly to have a tablet that I could watch my non-Disney digital movies on.)

I set it up. I didn't even know about the free movies, though most of them I do not want. Apparently it takes an act of congress to delete them. I've only recently started redeeming digital codes on my Blu-rays, mostly to get the Disney rewards, but it is nice to have everything in one place.

I switched over from the old Disney Movies Anywhere app to the new one. For some reason it has a license issue with certain movies, most notably Toy Story of Terror!. Works fine via iTunes but its hit or miss whether Movies Anywhere will play it.
