As noted by TiVoLovers and several other blogs, TiVo recently sent out an official statement which confirms the rumor that TiVo Inc. plans on discontinuing the TiVo rewards program as of May 28, 2008. Also as as expected, you have until April 28, 2008 to earn additional points.
Along with this news, TiVo has gone ahead and added a couple of new items to the rewards program. From now until May 28th, you can pickup a My DVR Expander drive for 28500 points. In addition to the expander drive, TiVo has also added two “entertainment packages” which they are calling the TiVo Rewards Entertainment Package (120,00 points) and the TiVo Rewards Ultimate Entertainment Package (150,000 points). Both packages included a TiVo HD
with lifetime service and a TiVo Wireless Adapter. The Ultimate package also includes a My DVR Expander drive so that you can add additional storage to your TiVo HD.
Like I said in my previous post, I’m disappointed that TiVo is getting rid of the rewards program. I hope that MegaZone of TiVoLovers.com is correct and that TiVo will restart the program, possibly under a new set of rules. I guess all we can do is wait and see for now…
