Exactly what I was thinking...i have Tivo and Netflix, now if I could download my netflix to Tivo (current movies, not just the current downloadable ones), would save netflix a ton of postage, and I'd be hooked!  |

Word at the time was that that NetFlix was having trouble getting the appropriate licensing from the studios. Now they seem to have sorted that out, but TiVo has moved on to support Amazon Unbox. |

I would totally pay a premium for that type of service! |

I've downloaded a few unbox movies, but rarely...why pay 4 bucks a pop, when I can get it free (sunk cost, already paying) on netflix in a day or two. |

| 'because you are tied into getting a $99 box just for netflix. at least with tivo, you get a top of the line dvr that does other things.
trust me: if Netflix teamed with Tivo, it would no longer be "free X hours /month". they are doing the free hours to get people to try and avoid the other systems emerging. |
