TiVO announced today that TiVO subscribers will soon get the ability to download movies from The Walt Disney Studios to broadband connected TiVO DVRs directly from the TV. The titles will be available to rent through a partnership with Disney-ABC and CinemaNow.
The rental period is very similar to Apple TV with 24-hours of viewing in standard definition. Some movie titles will be available in HD format as well. Pricing for the movie rentals hasn’t been announced at this time nor has a specific availability date for the service.
"We are very excited to be working with Disney and CinemaNow. Adding Disney movies really delivers on TiVo's promise to offer the best television entertainment experience with unlimited content choices that are easy to navigate across broadcast, cable, and broadband using one device, one remote, and one user interface," said Tara Maitra, Vice President and GM of Content Services at TiVo Inc.
