There are a few reasons why you might see the "Vudu Failed to Connect to Network" error code. One reason could be that your internet connection is not strong enough to support streaming from Vudu. Another reason could be that Vudu's servers are down or experiencing technical difficulties. Lastly, it's possible that there is an issue with your Vudu account or app that is preventing you from connecting.

If you see this error code, first check to see if your internet connection is strong enough. If it is, then try restarting the Vudu app or refreshing the page. If that doesn't work, then you can try checking Vudu's status page to see if there are any reported issues. If there are no reported issues and you're still seeing the error code, then you may need to contact Vudu customer support for further assistance.
