[LINK] Web to Set Tob Box video download the end of TV?

[Tom Worthington]

Amazon is now offering digital videos by download onto TiVo Digital 
Video Recorders (DVRs) 
<http://www.tomw.net.au/blog/2007/03/web-to-set-tob-box-video-download-end_15.html>. 
Amazon keeps a record of what was bought and allows the user to 
download it again (if they erase their hard disk).

The interface for PCs is much the same as for books on Amazon. I am 
not sure what it looks like on a TiVo. Also I am not sure how well 
this will sell. Amazon has had digital video download sales and 
rentals for PCs for some time. I haven't exactly noticed a lot of 
rentals or sales in my Amazon Associate's store.

It will be interesting to see what effect video downloads has on 
Australia's limited broadband.
