DISQUS

LH · 1 year ago

I'm surprised you had the issue. It has been awhile, but I tried this Tivo service back when Amazon Unbox first came about, and I had no issues with the downloaded versions (also picked the 99cent specials) and they appeared no different to me than DVD rentals. My problem was waiting for the downloads to complete (well, and always searching for the specials as I'd never pay $3.99 for a rental). Now, with Netflix Player and Hulu I pretty much have enough to fill the gaps while waiting on my normal Netflix deliveries.

I agree, I have only used the unbox service on my S3 a couple of times, and it has been a while, but I don't remember the service being that bad. I'll have to try it again.

We tried Get Smart yesterday night to see if it was as bad as Crystal
Skull was, and it had the same jitteriness at the beginning, but it
was much better, clearing up after the first quarter of the movie.
That said, both movies were junk. :-)

I always hoped Apple TV would expand such that Netflix was no longer
needed, but apple continues to treat it as a hobby. But this most
recent experience with Amazon and TiVo makes it clear to me why I went
the Apple route, because I trust the show's quality. I've never had a
problem, ever. If it wasn't for the $.99 promo, I would have likely
continued to ignore the Amazon/TiVo combo.
