TiVo and Netflix announced plans to finally roll out the ‘watch instantly’ feature to TiVo set top boxes. The announcement comes after a partnership of 4 years, where TiVo and Netflix worked together to stream video to TiVo set top boxes. The system works as first of all you’re required to be a paying TiVo and Netflix subscriber, thereby you’re able to browse a library of 12,000 movies and TV episodes from your couch, using just a TiVo Remote control. Though, the service’s only available to TiVo Series3 and TiVo HD users, and older TiVo units don’t support the video codecs Netflix uses to encode video.
