TiVo recording titles from your "Greased" Netflix queue

Last week, I blogged about how some folks were attempting to use Yahoo Pipes to have TiVo record stuff in their Netflix queue. Now one of the same bloggers I first read about this has tried a new approach. He uses a Greasemonkey (Firefox extension) script to add a new link directly on Netflix's queue page. Read more about this technique here.

Shameless plug: if you activate a new Tivo, please use my email address so I can get the referral points. Simply use [tpullis at yahoo dot com]. If you have already activated, please contact me with your 15 digit service number so I can get the referral. Much appreciated!

This strange meta data like message appeared during a Nintendo Wii commercial on this guy's TiVo. He snapped a picture and posted it to Flickr. Weird stuff.

Thanks Megan!

Five days after I got a referral from Doug, tonight I got one from Megan. I don't know who you are, but I'm grateful. Now I'm thinking my goal is the Series 3, with 13 more referrals to go. Hopefully this trend continues and the TiVo activations keep coming. Enjoy your TiVo Megan and thanks again.

TiVo recording titles from your Netflix queue

This is an interesting new "mashup" idea that is going around the blogoshpere. I'll have to follow this and see if they get it to work. This one doesn't talk specifically about TiVo, just any DVR.

Some people seem to love their Tivo a bit too much. These people made a cake and look like they had a party to celebrate the 1 year anniversary with their TiVo. How swell.

Check out this screenshot from a Flickr member who shows the new partnership of TiVo with Amazon. Could be interesting.
