TiVo Available In Canada For The Holiday Season
Earlier today, TiVo announced that the Series 2 DT TiVo will be available in Canada just in time for the Holiday season. Along with this announcement, TiVo has also published a new section on their website where you can find out more information about this launch.
“We’ve received overwhelming demand from Canadian consumers who want access to TiVo’s innovative products and services and we are extremely excited to be able to deliver our highly-successful TiVo Series2 Dual Tuner DVR to this key strategic marketplace — just in time for the holidays,” said Joshua Danovitz, Vice President and GM of International at TiVo. “TiVo’s move into Canada represents a natural, important progression for our business as we continue to make sustained progress across international markets.”
“We are committed to offering our customers with the most diverse selection of leading, highly-demanded consumer electronics available anywhere,” said Grant McTaggart, Senior Director of Merchandising, Best Buy Canada. “It is with great pleasure that we are teaming up with TiVo to bring their innovative products and services to our Canadian customer base.”
The TiVo Series2 DT DVR will be available in early December at major Canadian retailers including Best Buy, The Brick, London Drug and Future Shop for just $199 CAD MSRP plus standard TiVo subscription fees. TiVo will not be available in Quebec immediately. For more information on TiVo in Canada visit http://www.TiVo.com/canada.

No, get the one from the States, I always have and I’ve always been happy. It’s more work because you need to get it shipped to an address in the States, but they can do it no matter what they may tell you on the phone.
Better yet, get the TiVo for $50 from this affiliate deal here (still active): http://community.livejournal.com/tivolovers/528272.html
Or for free using this deal: http://dynamic.tivo.com/0.11.LP_kz.asp?a=ywca
Good luck…
