IPTV vs Amazon Unbox

Tivo is not quite up to the task, but it could be. I've tried the Amazon Unbox on my Tivo HD and find it wanting.

The trouble is that all the content is SD, and many are letter-boxed SD. That means that on an HDTV you get stripes top and bottom unless you "zoom" the picture up to fill the screen. If you do that then you're getting a really lousy quality picture.

If the Unbox experience was good then one could easily see a jump to broader IP distribution using Tivo.
