If you're cursing the fact that you had to get up this morning to watch the extended coverage of Stage 9 of the Tour de France on OLN because you'd miss it otherwise, maybe it's time for you to invest in a TiVo. You're in luck if you've waited until now.

TiVo has just reduced the price on the 40-hour TiVo Series 2 Digital Video Recorder to $99. This is a pretty nice deal, particularly because you can get two free months of TiVo service if you buy from Amazon.com (normally about $26 when you choose the monthly payment plan).

This is a great time to order a TiVo because tomorrow will be a rest day in the Tour de France. This means that you can get your TiVo through one-day delivery in time for the next day of racing. (Of course you could go down to a local electronics store and pick one up today or tomorrow as well.)
