Amazon Unbox coming to TiVo

Last September we heard that TiVo was in talks with Amazon to bring the Amazon Unbox video download service to TiVo, but then everything went quiet and all was almost forgotten...
In the meantime:
- People could download movies from online stores and watch them on Media Center PCs.
- The Apple TV got ready to bring iTunes video to the TV set.
- The Xbox 360 brought video downloads into millions of homes through the Xbox Live Marketplace.
- And the CES 2007 was flooded with media extenders to bring video into the living room.
But where was TiVo?
Well it looked like TiVo and Amazon did have something up their sleeve all this time. Amazon has announced that it will be launching the Unbox service on TiVo later this year and has already started a private beta test for 200 lucky customers. Any broadband connected TiVo Series 2 and Series 3 PVR will be able to download and play Unbox videos.
