Dave Zatz just posted about a change to the 24 hour limit on AppleTV rentals – but not in this country. So far, the bigger window is for Canada and the UK. Good thing that these guys finally get something first! Let’s bring it here to the US too, please!

I’ve railed before about how hard this makes renting movies for me under this system. I generally only have time to watch half a movie in a night – and this essentially means I have to either rent twice, or stay up late the first night and then start early the second night. 

TiVo is SO much easier (at least when the show isn’t from Amazon Unbox, which has the same 24 hour restriction).

Starting today, customers using Google Checkout to purchase from WeaKnees get $10 off orders of $60 or more.

Here are the exact terms:

• Get $10 off purchases of $60 or more (before shipping and tax) with Google Checkout.
• Limit 1 per person. No resale. Offer available until June 23, 2008.

Look for this button and get your discount:

To take advantage of this offer, you must use Google Checkout, and retroactive discounts, as always, cannot be applied.

Many of us remember when Oprah gave out TiVos to her viewers, but we haven’t heard much about a partnership between Oprah and TiVo since. But something small is brewing.

A customer of ours mysteriously got some copies of O Magazine delivered, and couldn’t figure out where they got his name. Well, TiVo to the rescue! The following notice arrived, asking him to renew:

Some company is making money somehow – and I, for one, don’t see how TiVo gets much out of this one, unless they’re the ones getting paid. But based on what this customer claims to be recording on his TiVo, something’s wrong with the demographic match. Or he’s a closet daytime TV viewer.
