Some are only rentals for free, but good all the same.

Thanks for the heads up! Looks like I'll be downloading around 15 of those titles to the TiVo.

Doesn't look like these movies can play on the Mac. No thanks just the same.

So basically these movies are free to "rent" if you download the unbox player? How does the rental process work....I'm assuming these expire?

The ones that are free to download (not the rentals) do not expire. You do have to run them through the Unbox player on your PC, though.

unbox works on Tivo for Tivo users. Click d/l on amazon and it will download to your tivo if you set it up that way.

Woo-hoo! My TiVo should have them when I get home tonight. Too bad they aren't running this while the WGA prevents new TV!!!

Hmm... free to rent? I dunno. I mean, come on. We are all about *buying* movies here. Who really has the time to actually watch any of them?

And once you set up your Unbox account, you aren't required to access it from your computer...all rentals/purchases can be done straight from your TiVo:

TiVo Central ---> Find Programs ---> Download TV & Movies ---> TiVoCast Downloads ---> Amazon Unbox


They also run rental specials for 99 cents every weekend. Of course I'm sure everyone was already aware of this. ;)
