this is an excerpt from the FAQ page from TiVo regarding their new partnership with Amazon.

What is the "Pay-TV Blackout Window"?
Due to restrictions from the video rights holders, most newly released movies will occasionally become temporarily unavailable for re-download from Your Media Library—even after they’ve already been purchased.
During this "Pay-TV Blackout Window" certain programs will be temporarily unavailable from the Unbox catalog and Your Media Library. This happens during the program’s run on a pay-cable channel.
The video will be automatically replaced and made available to you through Your Media Library once the "Pay-TV Blackout Window" has ended.

if i get it right what they are saying in this cryptic explanation is that lets say i bought a movie and kept it in the Media Library i may suddenly find out that i can't watch it because there is some sort of blackout?!

i am sure this was not the idea of anyone at either TiVo or Amazon, but rather some twisted minds (probably a lawyer) in the media industry. it is amazing that they still don't get it. trying to find new (and clearly stupid) ways to make it hard for people to get their content.

i am quite sure that people trying to watch a movie they already paid for who will get the bizarre error message will go to bittorrent for good, never looking back.

insane.
