Amazon & TiVo deliver movie downloads to your TV
Convergence at it's best. Here are two big players joining forces. TiVO owners will be able to download movies from Amazon's Unbox service directly to their TiVo units.
TiVo really has an interesting role here. Amazon and TiVo are planning for the service to be available on 1.5 million TiVo boxes soon. That is a great installed base to begin with. This could also usher in a new era for TiVo where they could move from their high monthly subscription fees and into more paid downloads and advertising supported content.
Here at HungryFlix.com, we provide MPEG4 movie downloads that can be made compatible with TiVo. We hope TiVo will open their technology to other online distributors and allow our content to be pushed easily to the family room.
