Tivo, Amazon launch vid download service


March 08, 2007 NEW YORK - Amazon.com Inc. launched on Wednesday a service that lets users watch video purchased on the Internet and sent to a home television hooked up to a TiVo set-top box. Originally announced last month, "Amazon Unbox on TiVo" extends the online retailer's Unbox download service to more than 1.5 million TiVo Inc. subscribers whose boxes can access the Internet via a high-speed connection. The service comes as media and technology companies experiment with new ways to court viewers who split their time between viewing traditional media, surfing the Internet and playing video games.
