TiVo "Big Lots" rebate
I bought a new 80hr Dual-tuner Series 2 TiVo at Big Lots for $69.99 back in October. There was much debate in the TiVo blogs if it would qualify as an authorized retailer. As of 11/21/2007, I'm happy to see that my rebate is valid and is scheduled for final processing. Thanks TiVo for holding up your end of this rebate!

New TiVo social networking site
I started a new social network "TiVo Generation" for TiVo enthusiasts today on Ning.com. It was quick and easy to setup and I hope it grows to become a rich online community for everyone who owns and loves their TiVo. I enjoy visiting tivocommunity.com and many of the popular TiVo blogs, but this is a whole new way for anyone and everyone to really get engaged with their own blog, photos, groups, & forums, all centered around TiVo of course. Check it out and help spread the word!
Aside from this new Tivo social network, you might want to start a network of your own. Learn more about ning.com here.

The TiVo Guy
I found another TV show with a TiVo theme. This time it is Larry David's HBO show, Curb Your Enthusiasm. In episode 57 on Oct 21st, Larry has the TiVo guy come out. Cheryl calls from the airplane where she is experiencing turbulence while the TiVo guy is over and Larry hangs up on her. She returns and tells Larry she's leaving.
Can you find a "TiVo guy" service in the phone book? Maybe Best Buy's Geek Squad would make a house call like this. In any case, my previous blog post had noted some other TV programs (Bernie Mac and Sex in the City) that featured TiVo. If you know of any others, add your comments here.
