The article refers to claims that this initiative will reduce piracy and
also alludes to a competitive offer expected from Telstra using their own
boxes and movies catalogue, later this year.

... TiVo inked a deal with internet service provider Internode to allow
customers to download movies without chewing up their monthly internet
data allowance.

TiVo users will get access .. via the broadband connection on the set-top
box from the end of this month. And at the beginning of next month, TiVo
will be sold as a bundle with Internode internet access, with TiVo usage
"unmetered" - or excluded from users' download caps.

...

... the TiVo movie store to be launched at the end of this month would be
powered by Blockbuster and initially contain between 60 and 100 movies.

New release movies would be sold at a price similar to that charged by
Foxtel box office while older movies in the "TV release window" would be
free and supported by advertising.
