This weekend Amazon.com is offering Michael Claytonfor only $0.99! Just a couple of days ago, I rented this same movie off of Unbox for $3.99. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to finish watching it because I feel asleep (my son has been teething). My wife was able to stay up and she thought the movie was great….

Along with Micheal Clayton, Amazon Unbox is running a weekend special on a couple other movies. Check the Amazon Unboxwebsite for more information…

Woot.com is offering a TiVo HD for $179.99! If you are interested in the offer you better hurry because the deal is only good for today and while supplies last.

Spotted on TiVoLovers.

Stephen Mack just announced that TiVo has added GameTapTV as a TiVoCast channel.

GameTap TV joins the TiVoCast lineup today, featuring shows about video games and video game culture. A new GameTap TV episode will appear every weekday.

GameTap looks like a great show especially if you are interested in gaming (which I don’t have time for).

As always, you can subscribe to GameTap via TiVo’s website or by accessing the following menu item on your TiVo: TiVo Central —> Find Programs —> Download TV & Movies —> GameTap TV.

Lipstick Jungle is moving up the rankings rather quickly.  Last week it was up 6 to number 17 and this week it is up 4 to number 13.  I’m not a fan of the show but my wife likes it.

Did you know that if your TiVo is on your network, you can access it with your web browser and ultimately transfer shows off of it? Here’s how to do it. Enter your TiVo’s IP address into your favorite web browser. When you enter the address, make sure that you use https. In the case of my Series 3 TiVo, I can access it with the following URL: https://192.168.1.108/.

If you’re not sure what your TiVo’s IP address is, you can always find out by navigating to the following menu item on your TiVo: Messages & Settings –> Settings –> Phone & Network. At the top right hand corner of this screen you can see your TiVo’s IP address.

As soon as you enter the correct URL in your browser you will be presented with a confirmation window which ask you whether or not you want to accept your TiVo’s certificate. Simply click accept the certificate and continue.

Once you accept the certificate you will be presented with a login window. In order to access your TiVo you need to know your media access key which you can find here. To login, all you have to do is enter the username “tivo” (without the quotes of course) along with your media access key as the password.

Assuming you enter the correct media access key, you should now be logged into your TiVo! From this page you can view the shows that have been recorded on your TiVo. Also, at the bottom of this page you can set whether or not you want your shows to be grouped into folders of if you want them to appear in one alphabetized list.

If you find a show that you want to transfer, all you have to do is click on the “download link” and your web browser should initiate the download (assuming the show isn’t “Protected“).

Here’s some of the top movies that are available via the Amazon Unbox On TiVo service. I recently rented Eastern Promises although I still haven’t found time to watch it…

As noted by TiVoLovers and several other blogs, TiVo recently sent out an official statement which confirms the rumor that TiVo Inc. plans on discontinuing the TiVo rewards program as of May 28, 2008. Also as as expected, you have until April 28, 2008 to earn additional points.

Along with this news, TiVo has gone ahead and added a couple of new items to the rewards program. From now until May 28th, you can pickup a My DVR Expander drive for 28500 points. In addition to the expander drive, TiVo has also added two “entertainment packages” which they are calling the TiVo Rewards Entertainment Package (120,00 points) and the TiVo Rewards Ultimate Entertainment Package (150,000 points). Both packages included a TiVo HDwith lifetime service and a TiVo Wireless Adapter. The Ultimate package also includes a My DVR Expander drive so that you can add additional storage to your TiVo HD.

Like I said in my previous post, I’m disappointed that TiVo is getting rid of the rewards program. I hope that MegaZone of TiVoLovers.com is correct and that TiVo will restart the program, possibly under a new set of rules. I guess all we can do is wait and see for now…
