It's not that I doubt that TiVo could be negotiating with Amazon, but as soon as the studios find out about it they will squash it. When it comes to TiVo, it's personal and they won't be able to move past that no matter how great it would be for consumers. I think this is a large part of why Netflix is trying to distance themselves from TiVo now. I really hope I'm wrong about this one and it was pleasant to see TiVo partner with CBS this year, but I think that TiVo would be partnering with the studios directly if they could get any traction there.
