An interview with Jim Denney of TiVo has a quote by Denney stating that Amazon Unbox will be available in HD “in the not too distant future.” That would be nice! So far, I’ve been using my AppleTV for better quality than my TiVo for online downloads. Frankly, while there are many advantages to the AppleTV, I’d rather use my TiVo just because I prefer the TiVo remote. So HD would bring me back over for downloads.
But I’m still pleading to all three companies (Apple, TiVo, and Amazon – even though it’s really not the fault of any of you three): please, PLEASE lengthen the 24 hour viewing window for rented video. It’s just not long enough, and it’s keep me and many others from renting more movies.
