Tivo Testing Internet Download Service

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the let-me-download-the-job-please dept.

knarfling writes "Yahoo News writes that customers will soon be able to download TV shows to their set-top boxes via the Internet. There is even speculation about being able to download an entire season at a time. Right now there are only three shows from the Independent Film Channel available on Aug 19, but it is a start. Will other companies follow this lead, or will this die down after the hype is over?"

    Yes, it is the next logical step, but not because it's iTunes-ish. It's the next logical step because I've been able to do this for about two years now with BitTorrent.
