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 downloads will likely take several hours."
    No shit. A single layer DVD is what, 6GB?
    The Matrix clocks in at 7.8GB.
    At 1 Mb/s, that's close to a day.

    Or by "DVD", maybe they mean a low quality copy of the movie you might rent on DVD, with none of the extras, bells or whistles.
