Just went to the Tivo site and one of the boxes compatible with the Amazon service is their TiVo HD box. With Apple and Xbox currently offering HD downloads, I don't see why its so misleading to think TiVo and Amazon are not there or that far behind. The equipment is already in place. This is my 3rd reply to an attempt to say this was bias or confusing or what ever you label it, neither atttempt has passed the sniff test.
This reminds me of republican tactics, when you can’t attack or dispute the undisputable core of the article, do the next best thing. Try to confuse the masses by taking one sentence within the whole article and going off the deep end.
I have a TivoHD and believe me the stuff coming from amazon is NOT in HD and it won't be for a while if you believe press info. In recent emails to amazon, they flatly deny any HD offerings will be coming any time soon. It's on the web, it was on the amazon web forums too, but it has since been buried I believe about the TivoHD only offering SD service for the forseeable future.
Here is the email I have from Amazon on the subject
Hello from Amazon.com.
There are currently no plans or discussions with Tivo to offer HD content to the HD capable Tivo boxes. Bandwidth requirements are not adequate to provide a quality experience in an adequate time frame for most home users.
We apologize that we do not have further info, but rest assurred that if we do offer it, you will get an email announcement.
Best regards, xxxxxx

What I don't understand why you are so adamant about defending a poorly written paragraph. I am not calling into question the FUDness or bias of the article, all I said was that the writer made a confusing statement that if you step back and read from the point of view of the average consumer, could misinterpret it to believe that Netflix and Amazon/Tivo already offer HD downloads.
Edit: Do I need to put back my disclaimer that I am HD DVD and BD. I don't give a sh*t which one won, I just enjoy the movies and technology. I have never come here to spread any FUD or bias, read my posts, I just don't do it. All I am calling into quesiton is the grammar skills of the writer.
