You know that experimental TiVo pricing, intended to run only a week? Well, TiVo must have found some success offering Premiere hardware and service for $20/month, with zero cash up front. As they’ve launched a national infomercial (above) to highlight the promotional plan – which is obviously still in play (and includes a bonus 6 months of free Netflix service).
Those in the know, who may be less interested in a 2 year commitment but are looking to add additional TiVo hardware to their household, should keep their eyes open for continued Electronics Expo dealios. We’ve got a thread going in the TiVo Community tracking inventory and coupon codes – often resulting in nearly half-off Premiere hardware.
Lastly, for some solid meta commentary, check out Harry McCracken’s latest Time column that examines how TiVo does (or doesn’t) fit into the evolving home entertainment new world order.
