Tivo and Netflix Partner For DVDs on Demand

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the here's-hoping-it-pans-out dept.

Tonetheman writes "The details are not really there yet, but it looks like Tivo and Netflix are going to team up! This is great for those who watch a lot of DVD's. You will be able to order a DVD and have it appear sometime later on the Tivo. Blockbuster will not be far behind with your favorite cable company."

    The netflix website interfaces directly with the TiVo network and you schedule a download of the movie.

    When you get home it's completely downloaded to your TiVo (or darn close to it) and you can enjoy the movie without waiting.


    Until the whole system gets hacked and you come home to 37 hours of gay midget porn all conveniently already billed to your account. =)
