Although there are rumours of Netflix being added to Tivo in the future, I am not aware of it being added. So you would need to view Netflix by other means. You can use a laptop hooked up to your TV or one of several inexpensive streamer boxes; I use a Western Digital Live Streaming Media Player.
If Netflix is added to Tivo, you would not be able to use Unblockus with it as you need to alter the DNS settings, and Tivo won't allow you to do this. It is a simple thing to do in streamers such as the WD Live or Apple streamer. It is not as easy to do in the Roku box as the Roku won't allow you to change DNS settings in the box itself, and you have to modify them in your router. The unblock us site gives all the details you need to modify DNS in each device.
Using a Windows 7 laptop for Netflix, limits you to 720p video and stereo sound. The WD Live and Apple streamers give you 1080p and 5.1 audio. Some blueray players and TVs have a Netflix app, but I'm not sure what the video and audio outputs are.
If you are looking for a Netflix device, this could be usefull:

With regard to the SD and HD picture on Tivo, I have seen a lot of posts both claiming one is better than the other from both sides of the fence
