According to an article in The Australian (http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,25156794-7582,00.html), it looks like TiVo have found an ISP to team up with for unmetered movie downloads.

Internode (http://www.internode.on.net/tivo/) has a teaser.

Just being picky here, but technically, isn't this P2P sharing of copyright material? :rolleyes:

I don't know what you mean?

There is no P2P element involved.

Did you even read the article?

Sorry, jumped the gun, didn't realise I had read something completely different to you on the Australian.

Actually the article you have read is essentially the same thing condensed into a much smaller article without all the fluff.

What you have misinterpreted in your article is the term "peering point" which is not the same as "peer-to-peer". And even at that a "peer-to-peer" network is not always for the sharing of copyrighted material even though that is what it gets used for most of the time.
