I get some podcasts on iTunes and (after converting one to mp3) publish those to the TiVo. I like being able to pause, FF and RW them which podcaster can't do. I listen to the podcasts or my music library regularly. Occasionally we download Unbox movies, but not often as I only have 1.5mbps DSL bandwidth and download times run to 12 hours. I use yahoo weather daily, check movie listings when the newspaper is not already in my lap and play Sudoku on the "and more" side of things. I also tried the Rhapsody trial period and liked it a lot, but prefer ownership to subscriptions for music. I have downloaded a couple of dozen music videos and will definitely get more.

We got a rental from Amazon Unbox, but we haven't had an opportunity to watch it yet (24hours to view may be an obstacle for parents with an infant). Overall, I am a little disappointed by the sluggishness of the interface and long list of services that seem to do very similar things (i.e., it's confusing). Also, I was expecting to be able to subscribe to a lot more video podcasts (or at least enter a feed). I’ve only had my TivoHD for a few weeks, but I have already used TivoCast and MusicChoice.

She was always really, really cute but, dang....smokin' (Cue theme from the Love Boat). My favorite TiVocast? The Onion, definetly.

I get three to four downloads a day from both. I've used Unbox on occasion but it's not a regular thing. I did have to buy three show episodes from last week because my recently purchased TiVoHD crashed and had to be replaced. I also still use Live365 and Podcast download (mostly when I miss NPR's "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me"), and I once in a while check the Movie Theater listings.
