A number of sites including TvHarmony are reporting that TiVo is offering a free DVR to anybody who brings a Comcast bill to their headquarters in Alviso. Great idea TiVo :). Harry (one of the readers of this site) was kind enough to send me this email that he received from one of his friends.

Subject: A FREE TiVo box for your friends — Fri. 12/17 ONLY!

Start spreading the word as far and wide as you want. Here’s the scoop:

WHAT:
We’re giving away TiVo boxes this Friday, December 17, from 11 AM to 1
PM to disappointed Bay Area Comcast customers who have been waiting and
waiting and waiting… uh, much to their chagrin… for the Comcast
version of a DVR.

WHY:
Because ’tis the season of good tidings! And while Comcast has let
down its customers with promises unfulfilled, we can bring Joy NOW by
gifting them with the critic’s choice of digital video recorders: a
TiVo box. Yes, FREE! They will pay the low monthly fee (or pay for
product lifetime service), but the TiVo box is 100% on us! YEOW!

HOW:
Tell your friends to show up at TiVo headquarters in Alviso and bring
the following to qualify for a FREE TiVo box:
1) An original Comcast cable bill, current within the last 2 months
2) A new toy or piece of clothing to donate to The Family Giving Tree
charity

WHEN:
One Day Only, for 2 hours or while supplies last!
Friday, December 17
11 AM - 1 PM
