Blockbuster has announced today that they will begin delivering movies and TV episodes through TiVo DVRs, bringing over 10,000 pieces of content to all Series 2, Series 3 or HD series devices.
Movie rentals will cost between $2 and $4 USD depending on how new the release is, and a purchase will average $15 to $20 USD.
Additionally, Blockbuster will begin selling TiVo DVRs in all their retail stores.
The move is in response to rival Netflix's huge push into the movie/TV streaming market, in which it has already signed deals with Microsoft, LG, Samsung, and others.
"Ultimately, our vision is to work with TiVo so that their subscribers can access movies not only through our OnDemand service but also from our stores and through our by-mail service as well," said Jim Keyes, Blockbuster's chairman, added.
