Cancelled Amazon Prime months ago due to their de-platforming of Parler. Just cancelled Apple TV + for Apple having removed the Parler app from their app store. (Free trial just ran out.) So now I'm looking for a streaming service and app with which to rent newer movie releases. I tried Vudu (Walmart's service). It offered new releases (e.g.: "Nobody"), but wouldn't actually allow me to purchase rentals? What, then, is the point? Suggestions? Needs to run on Apple TV. Would prefer it also run on iOS (iPhones) and iPadOS (iPads). "America is at that awkward stage.

I wouldn't recommend Netflix. It's all trash. There are services online where you pay a service fee for a hosted server. You upload media you've purchased and you can stream it over the internet.

No, it's not. In fact my wife and I are watching a very good movie, The Departed, even now. But Netflix does not meet the current need I stated in any event, as they do not offer new releases on a PPV/rental basis. (Other than disc rentals.) "America is at that awkward stage.

I don’t pay for streaming service. Instead use Netflix for 1080P blu rays and a smaller company for new release 4k blu rays. Streaming audio is shit and the image quality is compressed. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

Found a solution. Not finding any joy from the SF Oracle and not finding anything else interesting in a web search, I tried a search like "Vudo Apple TV movie rental". Up came Watch Vudu on Apple TV, which contained this little bit of useful information at the very end:
