New TiVo feature

We've just received notice of, and signed up for, a new service through our TiVo. Partnering with Amazon, you can now rent or buy movies which are downloaded to your TiVo to watch any time.

If you rent it, you have 30 days to watch it. Looks like rentals are going to cost ~$4 (don't know if they'll offer cheaper older released rentals).

If you purchase a movie, you can have it sent to your TiVo to watch. But in addition, your purchase history is kept, so you don't have to keep it on your TiVo or burn it to disc (not sure if you can burn it or not). Any time you want to watch it you just go back to Amazon and tell it to send it to your TiVo again. Purchases are being listed right now from ~$8-$15 depending on the title.

For signing up, they gave us $15 to play with. I think we'll do some test runs. One great benefit is that I can sit here at work, select a movie, and when I get home it will be downloaded waiting for me.
