Those of you who are lucky enough to have a TiVo® HD, TiVo® HD XL or TiVo® Series3â„¢ DVR just got some added functionality. You now have the ability to stream over 12,000 movies & TV episodes from Netflix via any broadband connection. This requires the Netflix unlimited plan but comes with no additional costs to TiVo® owners. There are a few steps to follow to get your activation code added to the Netflix website.  Once that process is complete you will have access to your instant Queue right on your TV screen. Like with other devices utilizing this service there is no way to add movies in real time. You can only adjust your Queue by accessing the Netflix website. Hopefully they make some enhancements in the future that include this ability.
