TiVo and Netflix are supposedly teaming up to allow downloaded DVDs on demand. Now that's hot stuff, right there. Cable & Satellite may offer their pay-per-view on-demand stuff, but you're limited to what they want to run. It will be interesting to see how they manage copyright restrictions -- do you have only 48 hours to watch the movie, etc. Also, I'm waiting for the MPAA to start screaming about how data packets sent from Netflix to your TiVo could possibly get intercepted, so therefore the service is bad and must be stopped.
Here's another good idea: the ability to preview whole albums for a reduced price. If there is a "play this within 48 hours" model installed, why couldn't Netflix get a CD library installed, allow customers to "rent" the album for $1-2? I would be more apt to buying CDs outright if I had to chance to listen to the music once before I pay $16 for a CD (or $10 for a iTunes download). The content stays on the TiVo just long enough for me to try it out, so the RIAA doesn't get its panties in a wad. The artists & RIAA split my money with TiVo/Netflix, so everybody is happy.
Why can't everybody be happy? Huh? Just for once?

I honestly can't think of a better match than Tivo and Netflix...except ReplayTV and Netflix. The potential is astounding!
