TiVo News #100: Your home movies on TiVo!

Even 100 TiVo® newsletters later, I’m still sharing the most incredible news about the best only-on-TiVo features with my favorite extended family: from giving you the ins and outs on the best way to find and record your favorite shows to now actually making them!

Imagine this: You have your very own TV channel. Every show on that channel stars the most important people, places and events in your life. It’s better than “reality TV.” It’s real life.

You—yes, you—can now send that video of Maggie’s first steps straight to grandma’s Now Playing List 3,000 miles away. Better still, grandma can “Get a Season Pass” and never miss another precious “episode” again. TiVo and One True Media are connecting TiVo families like never before with Home Movie Sharing, so don’t miss this special offer to get your first five videos “on the air” sooner rather than later.

Ready and action!

P.S. Here’s an offer that will really get you (and your friends) connected (so you’re able to enjoy features like Home Movie Sharing and Amazon Unbox on TiVo): We’ll throw in a wireless network adapter for one penny when you purchase a 180-hour TiVo® Series2â„¢ DT DVR with any 3-year commit plan. Choose monthly or prepay to save even more. (Tip: Prepay for three years and you’ll be getting the only Emmy® award-winning DVR service for just $8.31 per month!) Offer expires April 30, 2007.
