Starting September 10, Amazon Unbox customers will be able to download pilot episodes of NBC’s newest shows. The really sweet part of this? Customers won’t have to pay a cent for these pilots.

The pilots that will be available are for the new shows Bionic Woman, Chuck, Journeyman and Life With Amazon Unbox TV shows can be watched on a PC or through TiVo (if you have one).

After you watch the pilot, however, if you want to watch the new episodes, they’ll be available the day after they air on NBC and you’ll have to pay for them. When the TV show’s season is over, you can purchase the entire season to be able to watch it anytime you wish.

Amazon Unbox will feature the following NBC shows: The Office, Heroes and 30 Rock. In addition, content will be for sale from USA Network, SCI FI Channel, Telemundo, Bravo, NBC News, NBC Sports and mun2.

The offer from NBC on Amazon Unbox is likely a retaliation against iTunes after NBC and Apple had a bit of a fight.

I often like to poke my nose around the TiVo community forum to see what TiVo users are saying and thinking. With the launch of Amazon Unbox I decided to ask them whether they were pleased or disappointed with the new TiVo Amazon Unbox service.

From 141 people that answered the poll 55% were pleased while 45% were disappointed. While more people were pleased it looks like a lot of Amazon Unbox customers are not happy.
