Is Amazon Unbox on TiVo Worth the Effort? »
Just a bit over seven months ago, TiVo announced that they were making the Amazon Unbox service available to everyone. Well, perhaps not users of Series 3 boxes, but they are already out in the cold for so many reasons that it didn't really matter. What seemed interesting was that this meant that you could actually download content from Amazon straight into your living room. It's an interesting model, and one that bears looking at.
I have to say that even though I'm a fan of online purchases - I regularly buy things online - the online delivery of video isn't really something that I've been a fan of, and the problems that came along with the Unbox service (not being able to transfer content elsewhere, etc) made it seem all the worse. Perhaps being able to use it on the TiVo would make those issues go away. As it turns out, that's not really the case.
