TiVo does deal with Telecom

tivoTelecom and Hybrid TV, the exclusive licensee of TiVo products in NZ and Australia, have struck a mighty deal – but only for Telecom broadband customers.

From November they can download all the movies and shows they want from the TiVo media device without paying more for their monthly data allowance. This unmetered service also includes games and information services and access to the Freeview HD channels.

What if you’re not with Telecom? You can still buy a TiVo but you’ll only get Freeview, basic digital video recording (DVR) features and a 14-day on-screen TV guide.

So if you’re amping for TiVo technology you’ll need to save up $920 for a TiVo media device and wireless adaptor, which will be sold as a bundle from launch date. Telecom customers can also make 24 monthly payments of $30 plus an upfront payment of $200, which will appear on your phone bill. You can pre-order your TiVo on the Telecom website and get more questions answered on the TiVo website.
