Disney, CinemaNow, And Jaman Finally Landing On TiVo

TiVo announced a deal to bring Disney content downloads to their boxes, via CinemaNow, back in May, and a similar deal with Jaman all the way back in January. But little had been said about the deals since the announcements, until now.

Jaman.com content should become available on broadband connected TiVo boxes starting today. Similar to Amazon Video On Demand, Jaman content will be available for purchase or rent with prices starting at $1.99. Jaman’s library contains internationally-acclaimed films, including Indie and Film Festival Favorites, Best of Bollywood and Documentaries. Titles include Oscar nominees Girl with a Pearl Earring, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, and Supersize Me, as well as independent gems like Oil and Ice, Bollywood greats Devdas and Chokher Bali and anime landmarks Ghost in the Shell and Robotech. Jaman will also offer some content for download free of charge.

Disney content, provided through CinemaNow, will be available sometime next week. Disney content will be available for rental with prices starting at $2.99. Both classic favorites such as Dumbo and Fox & The Hound and newer films like Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest will be available.

And while the focus of the deal has been Disney content, which is not available through Amazon VOD, it does include CinemaNow content in general. So this will give users a great deal more content to choose from.

Both should show up under Find Programs & Downloads -> Download TV, Movies, & Web Video. The content, as with Amazon VOD, will be in standard definition. However, TiVo is working to add high-definition downloads to the TiVo Series3, TiVo HD, and TiVo HD XL.

I can’t wait for the HD downloading option. I also hope that TiVo is working on streaming options, now that they have streaming in place for YouTube. I’d like to see streaming from Amazon VOD, and then Netflix, Hulu, and other sites. That would make TiVo the box to have for online content.

This Weekend’s Amazon VOD Sale

This weekend Amazon VOD has a few deals available. First up Fight Club, Sex and the City, and 21 are $0.99 rentals, and Definitely, Maybe and Run Fat Boy Run are $1.99 rentals.

Second the October Scary Movie Sale continues this week with ten titles - though two of them are shared with the general sale, and I really don’t see how they’re scary movies or thrillers: Sex and the City and 21. I suppose they may be scary to someone, the though of having to watch Sex and the City is kind of frightening to me. But the other eight titles make more sense: Hard Candy, John Carpenter’s Vampires, The Devil’s Rejects, Fallen, The Seventh Sign, Body Snatchers, Poltergeist II: The Other Side, and Scream and Scream Again.

And they’re still running an Adam Sandler movie sale - seven of his films to purchase at $5.99 each: Anger Management, Mr. Deeds, Punch-Drunk Love, 50 First Dates, Spanglish, Adam Sandler’s Eight Crazy Nights, and Big Daddy.

This Weekend’s Amazon VOD Sale

This weekend Amazon VOD isn’t offering up the traditional $0.99 rental sale. But all is not lost, there are a few interesting freebies. NBC is offering up the season two premier episodes of Chuck and Life gratis. And Michael Moore’s latest movie, Slacker Uprising, is also available for free. (I checked out the new Chuck - look for a little TiVo product placement early on.)

And there are more traditional sales as well. Rent one MGM film and get a second rental free. The instructions are on the right hand side of that page. There’s also another $5.99 movie sale, purchase any of ten films for just $5.99.

Nothing two impressive this week from Amazon Video On Demand, though there are a number of free downloads that tie into the new fall TV season.

There is a Romantic Movie Sale which is offering twelve movies for purchase, not rent, at $5.99.
