Amazon has launched it’s UnBox video download service on the TiVo today (Series 2 & 3).  Since they are offering a free $15 credit for setting this up, I decided to give it a try.  Just go hereto ‘link’ your Amazon account with your TiVo account – the whole process was painless and took less then a minute.

I was then able to browse the library of about 1300 movies and shows, and pick one (Office Space, of course).  After the normal one-click checkout process, I verify which TiVo I want it to go to (I only have one TiVo, but I assume if you have multiple ones, you get a pick list).  The confirmation screen is telling me that the download will begin and show up on my TiVo’s Now Playing List – and sure enough, as I write this (Thanks SlingBox!), I now see a Amazon Unbox folder, with Office Space listed.  It is not available to play yet (full download required before you can start playback), so I can’t comment on the quality – but I’ll be sure to do an update soon.

Check out the full FAQ here – and enjoy those downloads from the couch!
