An interesting rumor is making the rounds…

Both companies are denying it..but, according to Newsweek, Netflix and TiVo are about to announce a partnership that will allow people who subscribe to both TiVo and Netflix to download the movies they want to watch, instead of having to wait for them to be mailed out…. if its true…its the perfect couch potato subscription…

If it’s true…it’ll be interesting to see how they work out the details (how long do you ‘rent’ the movie for…how do you ‘return’ it, how many times can you watch it.. etc..)

Now…if TiVo would just release a stand-alone HDTV unit… I’d get one and be a happy camper…
