Just tumbled to the existence of CBS's streaming of old classic, vintage TV shows (Star Trek, 90210, MacGiver). (Yeah, I've been out of the loop!)

I discovered it because of the release of their iPhone app that does this.

Was wondering if there's a way to show them via Tivo and/or a regular TV set... our Tivos are ethernet wired to our laptops, Tivo, cable modem, etc.

You can stream selected Netflix titles to a S3. The number of titles is limited but at least some seasons of Star Trek, 90210 and MacGyver are available.

FYP. ;)

My post didn't imply Netflix is a free service. There was nothing that needed editing or fixing. :) You can order pizza through tivo.

Oh, boy! Free pizza through TiVo! I better started clicking on those starred links. How great!

How long do you have to wait for the delivery? :)

Just realized that I can also get an adapter to connect my MacBook Pro to the TV and stream stuff that way. No Tivo and am not sure how well it will work, but it'll be worth $19 to find out!

You can record the stream onto your PC and then view on the TiVo using pyTiVo. Not sure about the legality of that.
