Launching initially to a small customer base next week, the service will be available to all TiVo users from 1 December.
According to Hybrid TV, the aim is to provide TiVo customers with the ability to road test downloading video content over the internet straight to the lounge room and understand the critical role both internet speed and download quotas play in ensuring the service is a pleasurable one.
This Blockbuster Movie of the Week service is in fact an introduction to the multitude of downloadable movie and TV content launching in March next year where the service will enable progressive downloads and greater file compression.
Hybrid TV CEO, Robbee Minicola said, "Australians have grown up with outstanding free-to-air TV content. With the introduction of a TiVo media device - they are now liberated to enjoy even more television because the TV experience can be adapted to their individual lifestyle. This new service marks a significant milestone for us - aside from growing our free Games Pack and Services Pack delivered via broadband - we can now provide another benefit to having a TiVo media device...movies."
