Yesterday, a journalist showed internet readers a photo of a TiVo box displaying an option to watch Amazon Video on Demand in high definition. TiVo already streams content from Amazon's video service but it's only available in less-than-impressive standard definition. Options for HD video on demand are limited right now, so the photo excited content-starved videophiles.

TiVo was quick to comment, saying: "at this time we have nothing to announce." The explanation? "TiVo is continually testing different screen presentations and options for subscribers." That's a weak denial, so you don't have to rule out all hope for all time if this is something you're looking forward to and you consider yourself optimistic, but at the very least it won't be coming as soon as eager bloggers had anticipated.
