Watch Online Movies Without a PC
The pioneer of digital video recorders, TiVo had introduced a service to let customers buy movies and television shows from the Unbox service of Amazon.com without using a personal computer.
Owners of some TiVo digital video recorders that have high-speed Internet access may download Unbox movies directly to their televisions.
Customers will be able to buy TV shows for $1.99 an episode and rent movies for $1.99 to $3.99.
The service, which started in March, previously required customers to download shows to their computers and either watch them there or transfer them to televisions.
It was available to more than 1.5 million TiVo customers.
Neither Andrew Pray, a TiVo spokesman, nor Drew Herdener, a spokesman for Amazon, would say how many customers used the service.
Shares of TiVo, based in Alviso, Calif., rose 25 cents, to $6.16 on Nasdaq yesterday. Shares of Amazon, which is based in Seattle, fell $1.79, to $70.28.
