There already has been a number of video submissions for the Hookup With TiVo contest on YouTube. The videos that I’ve watched have been rather lame however, some of them are kind of funny. Here’s a couple contest submissions in case you are interested….

As a side note, I would like to thank Tyler, Troy & Mark for putting me down as their TiVo rewards referrer. If you’d like to put me down as your referrer, all you need to do is enter my email address (raianoat AT gmail DOT com) when you activate your TiVo. Thanks Tyler, Troy & Mark. It really is appreciated!

Earlier today TiVo announced a new contest whereby the winner will receive a TiVo HD complete with a lifetime subscription. Details on the contest can be found on the contest’s website (hookupwithtivo.com) or in today’s press release.

Essentially all you need to do to participate is write TiVo a “personal ad” in which you explain why you HDTV is a perfect match for the TiVo HD. I know it sounds cheesy but if you can win a TiVo HD you might as well try…..

Remember the news about TiVo being available to Mexican CableVision subscribers?

TiVo.com has launched a new TiVo rewards sweepstakes. To take part in the sweepstakes, all you have to do is refer a friend to the TiVo service between now and Nov. 15, 2007. One lucky winner will receive following merchandise (totaling in at $3039.97): TiVo HD DVR, 50” HDTV, TiVo service for one year & a TiVo Wireless Adapter. Each time you referrer somebody you will automatically get your name added to the hat. Along with the grand prize, TiVo also has fifteen Flip Video camcorders that they are going to be giving away. Official rules and more details can be found here.

If you’d like, you can always enter my email address (raianoat AT gmail DOT com) when you activate your TiVo. If I were to win this sweepstakes I would be completely ecstatic!

If you purchase a TiVo I would appreciate it if you put me down as your referrer (raianoat AT gmail DOT com).

TiVo is once again up to some clever marketing. This time around, TiVo has published some “research” which indicates that the qualities that people seek in a companion mirror the qualities of the new TiVo HD. Read on for some creative marketing….

With even more consumers ready to bring HDTV into their living rooms, the question of what makes for a perfect companion to HDTV is even more relevant. A recent study* found the personality traits people seek in a companion directly reflect the qualities that TiVo HD provides for HDTVs. The lesson is clear: human attributes that make for good companions in “real life” can be parlayed to technology, a truism passionately espoused by over 4 million TiVo subscribers. Respondents chose from a list of attributes, with the top qualities selected all illustrating why TiVo HD and HDTV are perfect companions on the level of Lucy and Desi, Marge and Homer or June and Ward.
