According to this article on Real Tech News Netflix is getting close to launching it’s movie download service in conjunction with TiVo.

Basically Netflix subscribers who have TiVo will be able to download movies to their TiVo DVR instead of waiting for them in the mail.  Since I subscribe to both services I think I’m about to go to couch-potato-guy-heaven with this announcement.

One consequence of this is that I’m now really motivated to get my TiVo hooked up to my wireless network.  I’ve been putting it off, but I can only imagine how long it would take my TiVo to download a movie using the dial up connection.  As Larry the Cable Guy would say, I better ‘Git-r-done’.
