A prematurely added menu item seems to have confirmed that Amazon will be offering high-definition content on TiVo. The new option – which has appeared in the normal Amazon Video On Demand menu – currently does nothing when selected, but presumably it will soon offer a list of titles that can be streamed in HD.
Amazon’s On Demand service has been available to TiVo users since July 2007, with streaming content from the retailers “Unbox” service. Up until now, however, there’s only been standard-definition movies on offer.
It’s uncertain how long download times will be for high-definition content, with the extra data involved. Also unknown is Amazon’s pricing for the new HD movies. However the appearance of the menu option suggests that we’ll find out those answers sooner rather than later.

I think this was an inevitability for the Amazon and TiVo partnership. I would think that it should be fully rolled-out by the time we transition to digital broadcast in February. Although this HD service would have noting to do with that, it seems lie it could be the perfect time to offer this HD service.
