If this really comes to pass, this could get me really interested in Netflix. Newsweek is reporting that an anonymous source close to the talks between Netflix and TiVO has them putting together a system that would allow TiVO subscribers to download Netflix movies to their TiVO players.

Such a service would require subscriptions to both Netflix and TiVo, as well as a broadband Internet connection. TiVo’s current service allows the recording of broadcast TV programs, while Netflix delivers its DVDs through the mail.

That would be really cool to be able to not have to go through the whole mail back the movie waiting game that comes with Netflix.
