But it won't let me download the movies onto the phone like my s3 did. Anyone else experiencing this?

I've just got a HTC one and experiencing the same problem. I also can't stream from flickster:'(
i just downloaded the vudu app and it works the same way flixster did. You just need to link your ultraviolet and vudu accounts.
AZbrowncoat,
Vudu links up with your Ultraviolet collection. Create an Ultraviolet account, a Vudu account, and load the Vudu channel on your Roku 3. That is exactly how I watch my ultraviolet movies on my Roku.

Hi, AZBrowncoat,
As there are a large number of Android phones and tablets on the market, it's difficult to guarantee functionality for every device. As UltraViolet continues to grow, you will most likely see expanded service to more devices, but we cannot currently offer a date for your device specifically.
Currently, HTC phones do not support downloading, and certain models do not support streaming. The below link will provide you a complete list of supported Android devices:
Flixster | Which Android devices do you support?
HD playback via Flixster is currently supported on Xbox 360, and you can watch your HD UltraViolet digital content through VUDU and other Ultraviolet partners; see more at UltraViolet
We hope this helps!

That list of phones are mainly phones from 2-3 years ago. It seems to me the problem is with how slow these Ultraviolet providers work and the constant inconsistent rules they impose on their paying customers.
As I explained in an earlier post, streaming for me via Xbox / Roku or any of the traditional means is not practical due to the Internet currently available to me at home which is why I am exploring either streaming from my Android device and/or outputting via HDMI to my TV directly from the device.
That being said - I fail to understand why downloading is not supported on HTC devices, especially in light of the fact that I can side-load a UV movie to my phone and it plays fine (again see my earlier posts), is it a technical limitation of the HTC hardware or a manufacturer imposed limitation?
Ultraviolet is, was and continues to be a convoluted mess being foisted upon us by movie studios that were desperate to have an alternative to iTunes. I have to maintain a spreadsheet of my Ultraviolet movies that tells me which ones are available from what providers - some are only accessible from VuDu, some are only accessible from Flixster - some don't show up and aren't playable in member accounts. I have to have movie studio accounts, a Flixster account, a Vudu account, a UVVU account - SERIOUSLY? Oh, and that movie you got on iTunes with your Blu-ray...it's sequel comes packaged with an Ultraviolet copy - absolutely ridiculous.
...I apologize for getting off topic and ranty.
