$150 - $150 rebate through 7/29.

Single tuner standalone model.

As far as I could tell, buy.com no longer offers free shipping. Minimum shipping charge for the TiVo is $15.

i do not think you can get the rebate unless u activate it so no holding it around people

Right, you have to activate service and hold service for at least 30 days.


Wow, thats a great find! I may just go ahead and pick that up today. Will have to look into if I can get the rebate if I activate as a second unit.

Two rebates per household.

Maybe someone can clarify whether this means per rebate program (e.g. this one runs between 5/1/06 and 7/29/06) or two rebates, period.

think its usually "per offer"

I assume the rebate's valid if you're replacing a current unit or adding this as a second unit @$6.95/month?

To activate a tivo now, don't you have to sign up for a 1 year commitment? so be aware of that if that is true

A DT unit is $80AR from Amazon with free shipping. That may be a better buy because subscription fee is the same.

So if I bought a DT 2 months ago with a rebate, and I purchase another one with this rebate, will I get the rebate when activating the tivo as a second unit at the $6.95 price point?

I was going to get the Series2 box for $150 with the rebate, but then I would have to solve a cluster with putting it on my network. I LOVE the built-in ethernet on the DT box.

CompUSA, BestBuy, and Circuit City also have this model free after rebate.
