At first it seemed pretty corny, but I’m really digging the TiVo/Dominoes app that they released a few weeks back. I’d still pick the Netflix on TiVo app over it, but there’s something really satisfying about ordering dinner with the remote. I’m hopeful that they’ll open this up to more companies and we’ll see this become a more common feature on the box.
