TiVo next week will begin offering customers with broadband-connected DVRs the ability to rent Walt Disney Studios movies, through a previously announced deal with CinemaNow and Disney-ABC Domestic Television.

Disney titles, including Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Dumbo and The Fox and the Hound, will be available in standard-definition resolution to rent starting at $2.99 each through movie-download provider CinemaNow.

In addition, TiVo now offers independent and international film titles from Internet movie service Jaman.com. Titles including Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room and Supersize Me are available to rent or purchase starting at $1.99, with several short and full-length films available to download for free.

The new content selections are available to users with broadband-connected TiVo Series2, Series3, HD and HD XL DVRs.

• HD soon? I mean it\'s great that these movies are available in standard def, but who cares any more? I want more content in HD. If Amazon could finally offer Unbox movies and TV shows in HD I might spend some money on the service.
