Just bought TIVO for $19.98!!!!!

[LJC1861]

We were in Target today and they had several TIVO boxes on sale for $169.98 with a $150 rebate!!!!! Needless to say we looked very closely at it and sure enough it was legitimate. So, our TIVO box ends up costing us $19.98 after the rebate.

WOOOO HOOOO!!!!

Enjoy, Linda, TiVo is great.

Kimya,

The official TIVO brand. the one that our Target had is the one that records 40 hours, which is more than enough for us. If yours has them, and they are on sale, check the rebate form. If it seems to have expired, go to Target.com and download the newer rebate form.

Good Luck in getting one.

Linda

Thank you so much for this post!

We just bought a Series 2 Tivo from http://www.tivo.com. I had no idea that our purchase qualified for a $150 Rebate, but after reading this post, I checked and it did!!!!!

We were really enjoying the Tivo when it was costing us $19.95 per month for the first year. We'll enjoy it even more for an average of $7.50 per month.

Thank You for posting. We want a TIVo so bad, and I was looking on the Sunday sales and the prices were over $200.00 and the $150/00 mail in rebate, but this sounds much better.

Another question, do we have to pay monthly charges to dish network (our company) for TIVO, or how does it works?

Thanks

i'm not sure if you can buy a stand alone unit and hook it into dish network, friends have told me you have to get a dvr from dish in order to make that work. tivo is hooked in with directtv, so dish has to use a different brand. and there is a monthly charge, but you may be able to get a deal on the unit for upgrading or signing up for service.

our rebate took 10 - 12 weeks to get here, but it did get here about a week and a half ago.

ya know they changed the way they sell the boxes and charge for service right? They no longer offer lifetime subscriptions If you buy a box retail (target, bestbuy etc) service is $12.95/month

The big change (aside from dropping lifetime) is that if you go through tivo.com you can get a box and service for $16.95-19.95/month This makes tivo alot more affordable for lots of folks, because there is no huge upfront cost.

Summary of Tivo Pricing change

Love our tivo.. it's definately one of those life changing purchases!

i guess we bought at the right time, we got the lifetime subscription and the $150 rebate. the other nice thing was using best buy reward zone certificates for the purchase, so it was like getting it for free.

You implied, but it might not have been clear: The TiVo box is now being provided at no charge.

 

[LJC1861]

We have Charter digital cable and hooking up the TIVO was only a bit of a pain in the neck but it is working perfectly now and just wonderful!!!!

I just know I am going to love this. As for the service....yes, it is 12.95 per month and from what it seems right now, well worth it.

We attempted to sign up for Charter Digital's Moxie service, but the waiting list is "indefinite" at this time due to huge demand for the service. When we saw the TIVO so inexpensive at Target we jumped on it.

Albeit though with a higher monthy use charge. Sounds like Disney pricing, LOL.

I just got off the phone & they said my rebate check was cut 3/28
Last night on line they said they had no record of it. DH & I laughed because we were like even if they rip us off we are keeping the service! We love it so much.

FYI Lifetime membership is over April 15.
but its the lifetime of the machine.

 

[heathrow42]

Anyone get a box and not sign up for service yet? Anyone interested in trading referrals to get tivo rewards? (I can't refer myself!) I think I am one or 2 referrals away from getting an ipod!!!

Thanks!

what do you mean by this??

From what I understand you no longer can purchase lifetime on a machine, but if you already have it, they can't change it to monthly.

Thanks for the info!! I just ran out and bought it at Target. The only problem is I got the last one- floor model. They did give me 30% more off. No box and no rebate form so I am going online now to see if it's on there. I hope it works and I don't have to take it back-you KNOW how hard it is to return things at Target!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean customer service at TEVO told me I have until April 15 to get a life time membership & then it will no longer be available.
