If you’re like me you have lots of movies on your Netflix queue. I just checked my account and found that I have 246 movies in my queue. How many are in your queue?

There’s been some buzz around this plug-in for Tivo DVRs that lets users view their Netflix queue via Tivo. It also works with Amazon’s Unbox and Blockbuster online, but who uses those anyway?

The plug-in is open source, and can actually let you browse and purchase movies from Amazon. (Ok, that’s a pretty cool feature.) Although you can’t download movies via Netflix’s service yet, you can still browse and re-order your queue. Perhaps once Netflix opens up their movie download service to more users, this feature can be added.

The bummer is that the software runs on Galleon, which is software you have to install over your Tivo operating system. And how many people are going to do that? Someone who’s either a geek or a borderline geek.

Actually, I’d like to give it a try. I just wish I had a spare Tivo that I could use in case I have to re-format it or something else goes wrong. I’ve got lots of shows from 5 months ago, that I’ve really been meaning to watch (this means you The Aleut Story).

Bonus: Watch a video of the Galleon in action.
