Amazon and Tivo today unveiled an expansion to the Amazon Unbox on Tivo service which will make it easier for Tivo owners to download Amazon movies to their DVRs. This expansion should be available now.
Tivo DVR owners will now be able to rent or buy Amazon Unbox movies directly from their sofas via the Tivo remote. This new way of buying movies is in addition to the standard method of purchasing Unbox videos through Amazon’s Web site. Users wishing to use this new feature will first have to establish a PIN number through the Amazon Unbox Settings page.
To shop for Unbox videos on a Tivo DVR, users must go to “TiVo Central” and select “Find Programs”, “Download TV & Movies”, then “Amazon Unbox”.
