TiVo and Netflix?
TiVo and Netflix join forces for broadband movies.
If this is true, I may just have to abandon my DirecTV Tivo, which surely won't support it, and live with two boxes with the little IR transmitters.
I've been tempted to do this for awhile since DirecTV refuses to support Tivo's series 2 features, including online scheduling. I've stayed with it only because you can record two things at once, a feature the standard Tivo really should include, and because I hate the dual box setup.

I just heard that DVDBarn.com is opening up 30 more warehouses nationwide on Monday the 20th of Sept. Looks like they got some bigtime funding and are going head-to-head with Netflix. They also sent me an email with a promotion code that is supposed to give me a 3 out at a time plan for only $12.95 per month and apparently it is not just a promotional deal. They say if I signup I'll get grandfathered at that rate.
The code for that plan is dvd-4me if anybody wants it
