Sonicblue's new ReplayTV4000 line of digital video recorders will be available only through Amazon.com for the next two months, the companies said Monday.

Amazon, which will be the exclusive national retailer for the new system until May, is taking orders for the device now. The ReplayTV 4000 line allows consumers to automatically record TV shows, pause and instantly replay live television, and skip over commercials without fast-forwarding.

The device also has broadband capability, allowing consumers to send video over the Internet to other ReplayTV 4000s, stream video to other ReplayTVs in the home and view digital photo slide shows on a television set.
