TiVo announced that they will give away TiVo units to Comcast customers who can get to TiVo’s headquarters in Alviso, CA tomorrow between 11:00am and 1:00pm Pacific Time. In order to receive a TiVo, you will need to bring:
- a Comcast cable bill for current service,
- a photo ID matching the bill,
- a new toy or piece of clothing to donate to charity.
Note that you will need to sign up for the TiVo service (either $12.95 per month or $299 for the life of the new TiVo unit). Apparently this is being done to call attention to the fact that Comcast is having difficulty rolling out its PVR service in the Bay Area, and TiVo is attempting to capitalize. [ via Engadget ]
