Buy A Samsung HDTV From Amazon, Get A Free TiVo HD

Posted on Tuesday, May 27, 2008 by MegaZone

What’s an HDTV without an HD DVR to go with it? Who wants to be a slave to TV schedules just to catch HD content? Well, Amazon has a solution to that problem, they’re offering what I consider the best HD DVR on the market, the TiVo HD, free with the purchase of a Samsung HDTV. There are five LCD models to choose from, with prices from $945.72 for a 37″ 720p up to $1,849.98 for a 46″ 1080p, and six plasma models with prices from $979.99 for a 42″ 720p up to $2,999.99 for a 58″ 1080p. If you’re in the market for an HDTV, it is a pretty good deal.

And, if you’re not in the market for an HDTV, you can get the TiVo HD for $230.13.

Thanks to reader Kevin for the tip. He got it from WatchingTiVo at InvestorVillage, who spotted it at Gizmodo.

    Looks like Amazon just dropped the price on the TiVo HD another $5.07 to $225.06

    Sorry, it wasn’t Amazon that dropped the price. A third party seller (6th Ave. Electronics) dropped the price to $225.06. Amazon is still selling it for $230.13. I still think $225.06 is the lowest price we’ve seen so far for a TiVo HD.

    I wish I had this deal when I was buying three weeks ago. :-(

    Thanks for the heads up about Amazon’s current price! I ordered a TiVo HD from them last week, and was pleasantly surprised to be able to get a $29.86 refund… which I then ended up using to pay the sales tax I didn’t realize I’d be hit with when getting lifetime. Win some, lose some, I guess.
    But TWC NY just told I could pick up a Cable Card in person and do a self-install rather than going through the hassle of a service call, so that’s like saving another $30.
