TiVo giving away Series 3 player – and launch date?
So, the fact that TiVo has just launched an eleven-week contest in conjunction with American Idol, in which the grand prize is a TiVo Series 3 DVR, has already resulted in a flood of speculation as to when the long-awaited box will finally materialize. The contest rules stipulate that TiVo has up to four months after the end of the contest to fulfill, meaning that the latest the Series 3 will be available will be October.
Commence saving pennies… NOW!
I had been looking forward to the Tivo Series 3 for some time, but now (because of a software malfunction that Tivo first refused to acknowledge, but now seems to have fixed), I have a double stack of Series 2s. Besides being able to record two shows at once, and record HDTV, what other benefits will I get? I’ll have to see, come October, whether it’s worth the scrilla.
