TiVo Box Just $99 for Limited Time
Until August 20, 2005 $100 Instant Savings Celebrates Birth of New Summer TV Season; Two Months Service is Also Free on Units Purchased and Activated in July
ALVISO, Calif., July 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today TiVo (NASDAQ:TIVO) is launching for a limited time, a $100 instant savings promotional offer on all TiVo Series2 boxes that brings the manufacturer's suggested retail price of a 40 hour box to just $99, the lowest price ever without a TiVo rebate requirement. The promotion ends on August 20, 2005.
The instant savings promotion celebrates the birth of the new summer TV season. Summer used to be the season for endless hours of reruns. But times have changed. From CBS's Rock Star and ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" to HBO's dynamic duo of "Entourage" and "Six Feet Under" to FOX's new "So You Think You Can Dance" and "The Princes of Bel-Air," there's more new TV than ever this summer. But there's less time than ever during busy summer months to watch this great new TV. So TiVo is making it easier than ever for families to enjoy every minute of long summer days but never miss a minute of the new shows they love because TiVo records and stores all their favorite programs.
"New television programs aren't just for the fall anymore," said Katie Ho, vice president of marketing, TiVo. "New summer premieres on almost every major network demonstrate television has changed forever and we want to let as many people as possible see just how TiVo can change forever the way we watch it. With more new television available than ever and less time to watch it, TiVo lets any family time shift their favorite shows so they can watch what they want, whenever they want."
This instant $100 promotional savings does not require buyers to fill out any additional paperwork or forms for rebates from TiVo, and is also available on all new boxes, including the Humax DVD recorder with TiVo that lets subscribers easily burn their favorite shows to DVD and take them on the road. The promotional price reduction will end on Aug. 20, 2005.
