Tivo vs. Apple TV
That was quick.

Movies to your Tivo via Amazon Unbox
I decided to give Amazon’s new Unbox service a whirl over the weekend (they are offering $15 in credit if you register your Tivo broadband service with Amazon by April 30th) and was very pleased with the experience. It took only a few minutes to link up my Tivo account and after that, any movie…
