TiVo bringing Blockbuster OnDemand to its DVRs

TiVo already has a number of services available in its Video on Demand section including Amazon and Netflix. This morning, they added Blockbuster OnDemand. If you have a Tivo Series2, Series3, HD, or HD XL, you will be able to access the Blockbuster content.

Also part of the deal TiVo DVRs will be sold at Blockbuster’s online and brick and mortar stores. That makes plenty of sense. Why wouldn’t Blockbuster sell a device that allows you to access their OnDemand service?

The service will be in TiVo DVRs sometime after June, 2009. I’m a bit surprised by this deal because when TiVo lined up a deal with Netflix, I thought they were choosing sides between Blockbuster and Netflix. This makes the TiVo more computer-like in the way you can access video services. I wonder what they will add next.
