Step aside NetFlix , looks like Amazon is finally ready to crash your HD streaming party. According to one reader, the "Available in High Definition" menu pick just appeared under his TiVo's Amazon Video on Demand menu. Nothing happens when he clicks it but we imagine that might get sorted ...

Amazon HD streaming coming to TiVo?
SlashGear — ... since July 2007, with streaming content from the retailers “Unbox” service.  Up until now, however, there’s only been standard-definition movies on offer. It’s uncertain how long download times will be for high-definition content, with the extra data involved.  Also unknown is Amazon’s pricing for the new HD movies.  However the appearance of the menu option suggests that we’ll find out those answers sooner rather than later.

Amazon HD Streaming Spotted on TiVo [Amazon]
Gizmodo — ... insanely jealous over Netflix HD streaming? Don't break that remote in passionate rage just yet. One TiVo user spotted this "Available in High Definition" option in their Amazon Video on Demand menu system. Clicking on the option did nothing, but it's probably pretty safe to assume that TiVo didn't add the choice for aesthetic reasons alone—though the company does enjoy their endless word list UI so maybe we're reading to much into it after all.

Amazon streaming HD to TiVo soon?
Boy Genius Report — Listen up, couch potatoes! It looks like NetFlix and Vudu might not be the only streaming services that will offer up a high definition content. Opening up Amazon Video On Demand on your TiVo now shows a tab called “Available in High Definition,” but apparently clicking on it does nothing. A teaser, maybe? Or a slip up? We get the feeling that we’ll all find out very soon, but it seems as though it’s a done deal. Blockbuster is going to have to do something about the “DVD quality” streams they’ll be doing via set-top ...

The Week in TiVo
Zatz Not Funny! — Amazon Video on Demand… in HD? We had a brief glimmer of hope earlier this week when TiVo units appeared to offer Amazon Video on Demand in high definition… for about half a day. Sadly, the link directed subscribers to standard definition video rentals. After checking in with TiVo, it appears this was a layout test inadvertently released to the public. But it’s nice to know HD content downloads will be coming. One day. TiVo Series3 & TiVoHD Software Update ...

Where’s the HD Amazon VOD?
Zatz Not Funny! — ... And, in fact, one of my TiVo moles had told me Amazon HD VOD was headed into beta but had been pulled back for some reason. It seems inevitable that this service goes HD (one day…), so there must be technical or licensing issues at play. More recently, in December, TiVo flipped a bit and accidentally revealed an Amazon VOD “Available in High Definition” menu item. ...
