BestBuy "free" TiVo special this week
In the weekly BestBuy ad, they are offering a $50 gift card free when purchasing a single-tuner 80-hr TiVo box. The box itself is advertised at $220, so in essence it's "free" when you add together the current $170 rebate and gift card. However, the gift card is only valid on future purchases, so you can't put it towards the TiVo during checkout at the store or online. Hurry, this offer may expire soon, follow this link for more info.

2006 Service Update Guide doc
Today I was browsing Tivo.com to find some info about the latest Spring 2007 service update I just received via a new message in my DVR. I'll blog about that update in another post. During my search, I found a nice 78 page PDF document entitled "2006 Service Update Guide". This looks like a very handy resource, especially if you bought your box a few years ago. Basically, it brings your owners manual (Viewers Guide) up to date. Check it out.
The Update Guide starts with:
This Service Update Guide describes features and settings that may not have been available when you first purchased your TiVo® Digital Video Recorder (DVR) and which are not documented in your original Viewer’s Guide.
Some TiVo DVRs are capable of receiving different levels of TiVo service (either TiVo Basic or TiVo Plus service). This guide
documents features of the TiVo Plus service.

Humax LCD TV with TiVo
Apparently this 26" Humax branded LCD TV with integrated TiVo was demo'd at CES2005, but never brought to market. Bummer... it would have been a unique product with added value over the other LCD's in its peer group. Would you have bought this TV to avoid having the additional TiVo hardware box stacked along with your array of electronics components?
