The International CES conference in Las Vegas begins January 7th and I’ll be there from Wednesday – Sunday to check things out and look for new and exciting things worth mentioning.

If you are interested in periodic updates throughout the show, I’ll be posting photos and tweets to my twitter account.  You can follow me or just watch my feed here.

If you are going to be at the show, send me a message and we’ll try to meet up!

Effective immediately, TiVo is dropping prices by $50 for TiVo HD and $100 for TiVo HD XL boxes.  Similarly, we are passing these savings on to you by dropping our prices, too!  Please head on over to our TiVo HD page for new pricing on all configurations.

We are also continuing our popular Free Glo Remote or Free Wireless G Network Adapter promotion which gives you the opportunity to purchase a great upgraded unit at the best value possible.  For details, please see our Rebates and Specials page and for other special promotional deals, please see our Ongoing Specials… thread at TiVo Community Forum where we are exclusive sponsors.

Note that the GET3FREE promotion, originally scheduled to expire at the end of July, was recently extended through the end of October. More details and a link to the promotional materials can be found on our site here.

Using the GET3FREE code when activating your unit with TiVo will work just fine on any of the upgraded TiVo units we provide.

Also be sure to check out our REBATES & SPECIALS page for information and coupon codes for getting a FREE wireless adapter or glo remote with the purchase of ANY upgraded TiVo from our web site.

TiVo recently announced a promotion offering 6-months of FREE Netflix service valued at $8.99 / month. The promotion is only available between April 20th, 2009 and May 31st, 2009, and it’s a great deal if you are looking for an inexpensive way to stream Netflix’s online library to your TiVo HD, or save a few dollars on your existing Netfix subscription costs.

Applies to New & Existing Netflix Customers

Full details can be found on TiVo’s web site here and a synopsis of the program is also detailed at TiVoBlog.

Specials on upgraded TiVo HD systems listed and discussed here at TiVoCommunity Forum.

TiVo recently put a new page on their site so that people can sign up to receive updates on the new box that will represent the consummation of TiVo and DIRECTV’s re-marriage.

Now, there still aren’t any real details about the implementation, but the vagueness continues to be troubling. Will it be a Series3 with DIRECTV tuners (yayyyy!) or a DIRECTV HD DVR with anemic support for TiVo functionality, (boooo!). I guess we’ll all find out in the 2nd half of 2009.

Meanwhile, if you want a TiVo and don’t want to sign/renew any contracts, check out the TiVo HD. It’s well worth it!
