In honor of Father’s Day (and publicity), TiVo has partnered with Minor League Baseball and will be giving away up to 1,000 S2 units (via voucher) per market. Agree to a year of service, get a single tuner TiVo free. Add 30 bucks and upgrade to a dual-tuning model. Additional promotions (TiVo raffles) seem to vary by team website — so you may want to contact your stadium before making the trek. I’m not much of a baseball fan, but I could be rooting for the Potomac Nationals this afternoon. ;)
UPDATE: It may be possible to get in on this without attending a game. See www.tivo.com/baseball for details.

Here’s the financial breakdown… $19.95/mo bundled pricing gets you a unit and service for a year. This promotion gives you the box free and a year of service will cost you $155.40. Net savings: $84. (Though you might want to factor in time, gasoline, and ticket prices for a true comparison… unless you were going anyway.)
These units are not covered by the multi-service discount ($6.95/mo).
