Stephen Mack has alerted me to the fact that TiVo and Amazon have partnered up to offer twenty classic movies for FREE via the Amazon Unbox on TiVo service. Some of the movies are available as a free rental (they will expire twenty four hours after you start watching them) whereas, others you keep in your library and watch as many times as you want to.

Something weird is up with your style sheet – in Firefox I’m no longer getting the white background, so everything has the gray background, which obscures some of the text.

why is amazon unbox asking for visa # if those are free ??
The way their system is setup you need an Unbox purchase account to order *anything*, including free downloads. And to have that you must provide a credit card. They don’t have a way to provide an account without payment credentials.
Thanks for letting me know. I’ll take a look into ASAP. Are other people experiencing this issue?
[...] Via TivoBlog.com, TiVo and Amazon are offering 20 free classic movies to help entice customers to try out the new Amazon Unbox service. [...]
Is the free classic movies still any good? When I click on the links for the movies none of them come up as free.
Sorry, the special sale ended Sunday night.
