By keeping a full list, you will have a wide variety of choices ready to play immediately on the device.

Now is the time, if you do not have have a Netflix account to get one. If you do, this is the perfect companion.
Personal Opinion
Anyone who feels obligated to watch Netflix via Tivo to the point of needing to buy another Tivo box is not looking at the bottom line. Another Tivo box is another subscription, selling Tivo box is harder than you think and how much space do you really need? Spending just $99.00 for a little box to watch your netflix and leave the Tivo to television and TivoCasts.

If you are thinking about going to the movies or renting it out then I can recommend it. I know it is a bit long but the story is pretty good and the acting is spot on. I prefer some of the older movies but this one gets my vote.
