I wonder if the holdup is simply Netflix trying to pressure studios to letting them stream for free (for which I assume Netflix pays some flat rate fee).
As it is, I use Netflix and Amazon Unbox, both of which I can do through my Tivo. I go to Netflix first, though, and only check Amazon if Netflix doesn't have it.
I do still need a way to do ala carte TV shows though. Kinda hoping to see Hulu make some better progress there.
