Who Needs NetFlix When You Have TiVo?

That is the question that is going to be asked more and more often as TiVo has joined forces with Amazon.com to create Amazon Unbox on TiVo. This new service for us TiVo owners with Series II or Series III boxes connected to the Internet through our wireless networks, will allow us to rent or buy movies and TV shows from Amazon and have have them downloaded directly to our TiVos for viewing.

It rolled out for limited testing today and should be available to all very soon. One neat feature is that when you buy a video, Amazon keeps track of it forever, so you can download it to your TiVo, watch it a few times and then delete it. The next time you want to watch it, you can download it again from Amazon.

Sign me up now dammit!!!
