Add movies from Disney and Jaman.com to the growing list of downloadable content you can view on TiVo DVRs.

Disney movies will be available on TiVo starting next week. Rentals will be $2.99 each, and include titles ranging from animated classics (Dumbo) to modern favorites (Pirates of the Caribbean). The content will be provided via CinemaNow. See that site's TiVo FAQ for more details.

Movies from Jaman.com should be available this week. The $1.99 rentals include international selections, independent and art cinema, and anime titles.

The Disney/CinemaNow and Jaman selections will be presented in standard-definition video, and will be accessible on all current standalone TiVo models (Series3, TiVo HD, TiVo HD XL, and Series2 devices). They join such previous TiVo Internet-delivered content offerings as Rhapsody, Amazon Video-on-Demand, and podcast access.

Note: This post has been updated to specify that both the CinemaNow/Disney and Jaman selections will be available in standard-def only. An earlier reference to future HD content on CinemaNow's site has since been removed.
