Well, I think this well and truly kills Ultraviolet in the UK. TV streaming apps (Rakuten) stopped supporting Ultraviolet, followed by apps I could access using my Xbox (TalkTalk). Currently I can only access my collection using Flixster Video on my phone, which of course I can't cast to the TV.
Once this goes, my ultraviolet collection is completely inaccessible, as the two services mentioned in the article, aren't available in the UK.
Way to go, publishers, on persuading people of the benefits of legal digital ownership over piracy.
(Of course, TFA shows an email addressed to 'US Customer', but I'm sure the UK isn't far behind)
