Amazon and Tivo take on movie downloads.
Leave a comment »
Tivo signed up with Amazon to provide movie downloads. Amazon via the internet to computer then wireless to Tivo. Finally. An easy not the Blockbuster experience. I hate Blockbuster. They must have the worst customer service. Doesn't seem to matter which outlet you go to either.
Now I don't have to leave home. And because the first step is the hardest, getting people signed up crosses a major hurdle for the companies.For Tivo it makes them relevant as a home entertainment hub. For Amazon it takes them deep into entertainment territory.
New things are always slow. But Tivo/Amazon have built foundations for growth.
