Don’t use Amazon Unbox

I thought Amazon Unbox would be pretty cool - it lets you download movies on to your Tivo (kind of like an Apple TV without having to switch inputs from the Tivo which we’re always using anyway).Apparently, however, many users are having problems with partial downloads and on my very first Unbox order I experienced this.  The frustrating thing is that they don’t have any way for you to re-enable the download yourself, you have to call in to a poorly staffed call center - my guess is that they are gambling that most people won’t wait on hold for an hour to rectify a $4 purchase.They are right about that, but I won’t be purchasing from them again - Apple TV wins.
