I have Amazon prime free for a year. I think I can stream stuff to the tivo for free, but does anyone know how it works?
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

yes. you have to register your TiVo through Amazon and then when you buy or rent a video, you can have it sent to your TiVo from the pulldown menu.

Hey. New board.
I know nothing about the streaming - haven't used it. But Prime itself is the most amazing of all amazing things. I buy almost everything through it. I recently got a lawnmower. It was on my front porch less than 24 hours after I clicked "Buy", since I paid the $3.99 for one day shipping.

Just checked, and I have free shipping, but would have to pay $40/year for the other stuff.

Completely. I recommend getting three friends and splitting the cost. I've been on a stranger's account for years. $75 a year is a little steep, but $20? Totally worth it.

Prime is $75 now? I remember when it was $49.

Blarg. Ctrl-click/middle-click has stopped working in my Firefox for no apparent reason. Like, it was working last night, and not this morning. I cleared my cache and disabled Greasemonkey and scanned for malware, to no avail.

I'll be sad if and when the day comes when I have to pay for Prime, but I will if necessary because I have become completely spoiled by it.

I have had it for years and they will need to pry it out of my cold, dead hands.
