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.

Actually, it's $79.

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.

Ayup. That free 2-day shipping is addictive.
