What bandwidth do I need to use the VUDU service?

Please use the table below to determine the best bandwidth for the quality level you wish to watch:


.

Streaming devices
CE-branded

VUDU Players

SD

1 Mbps to 2 Mbps

1 Mbps delayed delivery
2 Mbps instant

HD

2.25 Mbps to 4.5 Mbps

4 Mbps for instant delivery

When using this table, keep in mind the difference between nominal and actual bandwidth. Your actual bandwidth is usually lower than the nominal (or advertised) bandwidth due to other devices on your home network. You can test your bandwidth using an online speed test such as:  http://www.speedtest.net/. For accuracy, conduct the test from a computer that will share an internet connection with VUDU.
