TiVo, appearing undeterred by the recent departure of DirecTV’s Eddy Hartenstein from its board and his company’s divestiture of its stock, introduced new products and services.
TiVo unveiled service enhancements for Series2 subscribers and new pricing for multiple TiVo households. Under the new pricing plan, TiVo Series 2 subscriptions are the standard $12.95 per month for the first box, with each additional subscription now $6.95 a month. That price is for up to five TiVo boxes and other restrictions apply.
TiVo is also offering a 10 percent discount on TiVo DVRs, lowering the price to “as little as $129, with mail-in rebate,” the company said.
TiVo also unveiled a 140-hour Series2 DVR with a new design, which for a limited time will sell for $309 after a mail-in rebate, the firm said.
The TiVo Home Media Option is now part of the $12.95 subscription rate. It provides the ability to do the following: schedule recordings from the Internet; move content between two or more TiVo boxes in the home; view digital still pictures on TV; and listen to digital music on the home stereo in the living room.
