However, it's going to be confusing to customers. What they should do is charge once and offer both options, especially for to-own content. I can download it, stream it, and have it live in the cloud and be future proof for newly supported devices. @ Dave Zatz

TiVo, Inc also confirmed for me that Amazon video rentals/purchases on TiVo units are NOT going away. It’s going to be a dual pronged strategy (and rebranding) – BOTH downloads and streaming.
