I really enjoy TiVo’s latest feature which allows you to rent an Amazon Unbox movie directly from the comfort of your couch.

The 24/hr delete is the one thing that keeps me from using the service. As it stands, I won’t pay more than 99c to rent a movie – and I’ve let Amazon know this.

In both cases I get a higher quality version of the movie, with more features (DVD extras, subtitles, alternate languages, etc). Heck, for 4 bucks I can use Comcast PayPerView and start the movie without waiting for the download, and many titles are HD.
