Breaking: Tivo Boxes to Download Amazon Unboxed Videos

Brian Lam writes on Gizmodo:

Amazon and TiVo just made me wet my pants with what could be a killer app in the digital video distribution arms race: TiVo Series 3 and 2 set top boxes will be living room conduits for content from Amazon's Unbox video download service.

This is the first single box solution that intermingles downloadable broadband video and traditional TV in one place. With TiVo's amazing UI, user base (1.5 million), and Amazon's selection (4 out of the big 6 studios) these guys are going to have a serious setup.

More here.

And given that Comcast and TiVo are also planning to partner, this could be a Good Thing (although I would envision Comcast trying to unload their own pay-per-view stuff instead).
