It follows up the Dropkick Murphys' 2005 release The Warrior's Code.
Amazon and TiVo have made an agreement that will allow users to directly download Amazon Unbox movies straight to their TiVo boxes. This deal will allow users to sidestep using a computer, making it easier to watch movies using the Amazon Unbox service. This is a step forward over other computer-to-TV options such as Apple TV, which still require users to download movies to their computer and then sync it with the TV before the film can be watched.
