TiVo’s$300 HD participant was fully revealed today , so it ’s a safe time to explore TiVo ’s pumped up Unbox functionality that this and the Series 3/2 all have . TiVo has been working as a set top box seat for Amazon ’s Unbox movie rental and leverage servicefor a while , but only in the last few weeks has it been potential to corrupt movies on a TiVowithout any intervention from a PC . Having used it for a week , I have to say it ’s frail , but nice .

•The Unbox functionality is buried under “ Find Programs ” ( OK ) and then again under “ Download Movies and television receiver display ” and then TiVo Unbox . Unbox is put next to podcasts . I feel like its important enough to go like a shot under “ Find Programs ” .
• you may get lists of downloads under “ Top Movie Rentals ” , “ This Week ’s New Release Movies ” , “ Special Deals ” , “ Top Movies ” , “ late TV Episodes ” , “ Kids & Family ” , “ Foreign Films ” .
•Movie rentals will roam from $ 1.99 to $ 3.99 , movie purchases from 9.99 to 14.99 , and idiot box appearance will cost $ 1.99 per episode .
• It ’s still impossible to tell when a moving-picture show will be download , and you ca n’t observe until the intact matter is downloaded ( unlike on a microcomputer using an Unbox client . ) But there ’s a blue light on the front panel of the TiVo that mean you ’re currently downloading . The best way to see a TV is quick at night is to air it to your TiVo from Amazon ’s unbox website .
• Still no way to tell which movies are for rent or buy , from the UI .
• To research for display , you have to go to worldwide swivel search , which is underneath find shows . There should be a way to search for capacity from the TiVo ’s unbox interface , but there is n’t . This is my major gripe . The microcomputer is still a better station for wakeless picture show search , something you ’ll do often considering that Amazon has a lot of content , but not all .
•When content plays back , my television enter 480 mode . It ’s below average TV quality , considering the compression . There are no HD movies on Amazon Unbox .
In the closing , a moderately good way to rive film , but do n’t forget about XBox 360 ’s limited but HD video recording service . I lean to use TiVo ’s service more because its only a few clicks away while I ’m already watching TiVo .
