Why Does VUDU Send and Receive Data When I’m Not Using It?

In order to permit the instant viewing of SD and HD movies, VUDU distributes small portions of the beginning of most titles to your VUDU box.  When you press ‘play’, VUDU is able to start playing the beginning of the movie while it begins downloading the rest of the movie.  Additionally, VUDU regularly releases new content which requires downloading the new database and cover art.  The peer-based network that VUDU uses to distribute movies also may require your VUDU box to contribute to others’ enjoyment of the service.  The use of upload bandwidth is limited to 350kbps or less depending on bandwidth tests and is shared among all VUDU boxes on the Internet.
