Free TiVo?

Hey, anybody in the Bay Area want a free 40 GB Series 2 recorder tomorrow? If so apparently all you have to do is show up at TiVo headquarters with your Comcast cable bill and a gift for The Family Giving Tree charity between 11 and 1 tomorrow:
TiVo freebie has lump of coal for Comcast
Free TiVo-for-Toys this Friday at TiVo HQ

Time: 11am-1pm

Date: December 17, 2004

Place: TiVo, 2160 Gold Street, Alviso, CA (Yahoo Maps)

Why: Reinforcing our position as a champion for consumers and to deliver on the broken promise from Comcast to deliver DVRs to Bay Area customers. Best of all, bringing holiday cheer to those in need through our alliance with The Family Giving Tree.


Hmm, very tempting indeed. Wonder if I can come up with something gifty and get over there on my lunch break...

I would do it if I didn't already have a tivo, but it is a great idea for them. Personally I think they ~should~ be giving away a lot of more of them since their cost of sales is way to high and they have insufficient market penetration.

I may just swing by as it's not so far from work and see if there's a mob or not. If not, hey, free TiVo :)

DOes it have to be a digital cable bill or will any old comcast bill work?

If any old bill would work, maybe I'll have to show up.

I don't think it specifies, but you might want to check the TiVo homepage to double check that.
