We have this feature avalible in australia however there is no cost involved depending on your isp u only get charged if u have a download charge that may occur soo i hope the blockbuster VOD stays the same in australia.
Good move. I have respect for Blockbuster even though I no longer use them and MUCH LOVE for Tivo. Tivo definitively has the best, most user-friendly interface of all DVRs hands-down and sets the standard for the way digital recording should be. I'd like to see Tivo be the standard for all DVRs but that ain't happenin'. Regardless, Good move.
mixed feelings here! I have a new Series 3 Tivo, & i have Netflix, & a xbox 360! so i have my choices (also a HTPC) of what to stream to! THe quantity is poor but i love netflix pricing! I cant say it would cost me much if any more but i can get 1 movie @ a time stream all i want for what 8.99 i think?! that's only 2-4 movies threw blockbuster! now i would pay say $15 for a Blockbuster streaming account if they had much more & much newer movies to order! It may be worth Blockbuster if i know i can get NEW movies & only pay when i want that NEW movie that Netflix wont have for a year streaming! so i could definitely see where this works out! It is just VOD which i don't have access with my tivo & cable card setup i currently have now!
