Twilight Mama
I can’t let the weekend pass without commenting on the cultural phenomenon that is Twilight. I know I’m not the only Twilight Mom out there.
To be honest, it’s been a while since I have purchased a DVD. I typically prefer downloading to my Tivo via Amazon Unbox. However, I just had to have the three-disc set from Target.
Now buyers have so many options–one disc, two disc, blu-ray, HD, download.
Target scored with the three-disc bonus and they let buyers have a free download of the movie from iTunes.
Amazon kept their pre-order customers happy by offering a free digital download so you didn’t have to wait for delivery on Monday since the movie came out on Saturday (12:01 a.m.)
How did you get your Twilight fix?

Quite a Combination
Jessie Atkin posted a new blog on Digital Landing about the new partnership between Tivo and Netflix.
What more could you want than the ability to fast forward through commercials and record any movie of your choosing? Well, a lot more apparently. As if Tivo didn’t have enough going for it to begin with, now Netflix and Tivo are officially partnering up for real.
Netflix (probably by December) will be streaming the movie library already available online through Tivo HD customers. Think of the options, the possibilities, all those movies. The deals only been in the works for four years, but better late than never I suppose. The innovation of television is not over and boy is that exciting.
Order Pizza via Tivo
Chris McGinn posted a blog up on Digital Landing. You can now order pizza through your t.v.
Yes, it’s true. First it was by phone, then by web and mobile and now by Tivo remote.
Just when you thought Tivo couldn’t get any better now you can order your favorite pizza from Domino’s with a few clicks of your remote. I saw an article on first and then clicked on my Tivo guide. Sure enough, there were the links to order via Tivo. You simply log in with your Dominos.com user info and then pay by cash when the pizza arrives.
The concept launched this week and is the latest in on-demand living. Tivo already has partnerships with music providers, Amazon Unbox and Netflix to provide on-demand music and movie service. I wonder what is next?
