TiVo has gone ahead and extended the $200 Series 3 rebate (PDF).  This offer is good until August 30th, 2008.  Thanks to this rebate, you can now pickup a Series 3 for $392.45.

If the Series 3 rebate doesn’t have you interested you might want to pickup a refurbished TiVo HD for $200($249.40 brand new).

I own a TiVo HD as well as a Series 3 DVR.  To be honest, I like my Series 3 better then my HD mainly because I enjoy the OLED display along with the Glo remote which comes standard with the Series 3.

What do you think about the Series 3?  Would you pay an extra ~$143 to get a Series 3?

Today is your luck day if you’re in the market for a single-tuner Series 2 TiVo. For a limited time, you can actually profit $31 (after a $170 rebate) on the purchase of an 80 hr Series 2 TiVo. There’s no need to re-read what you just read, TiVo is essentially giving you $31 if you decide to “purchase” this DVR.

Of course, the aforementioned DVR is not a dual-tuner TiVo however, you can’t beat the price. In fact, I’m thinking about picking one up just so that I have another DVR for when TiVo enables MRV (multi-room viewing) on the Series 3.

As always, I would appreciate it if you would put my email address (raianoat AT gmail DOT com) down as your referrer when you activate your TiVo.

Thanks for the tip Bob!

TiVoLovers has the scoop on a $200 rebate for the Series 3 TiVo (PDF). The rebate is valid from Sept. 16 until Jan 26th, 2008. If the rebate were available today, you would be able to get a Series 3 TiVo for $399.99 ($599.99 - $200).

(1) Eligible TiVo® Series3TM Digital Video Recorder must be purchased between 9/16/2007 and 1/26/2008, inclusive. (2) Rebate not valid for bundled hardware and service offers, including “TiVo Packages” sold at www.tivo.com. (3) New TiVo service* activation required between 9/16/2007 and 2/26/2008, inclusive, and must be active for at least 30 days (beyond TiVo trial period) in order to be eligible for rebate. ……… (4) A MINIMUM ONE (1) YEAR SERVICE COMMITMENT IS REQUIRED ……… Not valid for pre-owned, second party, demo, or display DVRs. Not valid on DIRECTV DVR with TiVo service. $200 rebate valid only on TiVo Service Numbers (TSN) starting with 648. (7)…….(8) All submissions must be postmarked no later than 3/26/2008 and received by 4/9/2008.

This new price now makes the Series 3 a reasonable purchase when compared to the TiVo HD. If you’re thinking about getting a Series 3 you might want to wait until this rebate is available since it will save you a considerable amount of money.

TiVo’s latest rebate offer (PDF) allows you to get a Series 2 TiVo for next to nothing after rebate. The rebate is valid from July 29th to Sept. 8th and it allows you to receive $150 off of a Dual Tuner TiVo or $170 off a single tuner Series 2 TiVo. Thanks to this rebate, you can now get a dual-tuner 80 hr TiVo for $58.99 ($208.99 - $150) after rebate. A single tuner 80 hr. Series 2 TiVo will set you back $13.00 ($183.00 - $170).

If it were up to me, I would go with the dual-tuner TiVo. Having just one tuner makes it difficult to use your TiVo. With one tuner, you’re constantly having to decide which show to record. Get a dual-tuner TiVo! You’ll be happy you did it.

If you decide to take advantage of this offer, I would appreciate it if you put me down as your referrer (raianoat AT gmail DOT) when you activate your DVR.

Effective today, TiVo is now offering a $220 rebate for the standard Series 2 TiVo and a $180 rebate for the Dual-Tuner and DVD burning TiVos.

Here’s a snippet taken directly from the rebate form:

• Choose eligible TiVo® Series2™rebate amount for purchases between November 5, 2006 and December 31, 2006
• $180 TiVo® Series 2™ Dual Tuner Rebate (valid only on TiVo Service Numbers (TSN) starting with 264,275, 565, 590, 595, 649)

This is the best deal I’ve seen in a long time. The rebate form isn’t up on TiVoRebates.com however, Weaknees has a copy of the rebate form which I’m sure you can use. Unfortunately, the offer doesn’t allow you to get a rebate off of the Series 3 TiVo but I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up seeing a rebate offer before the start of the holiday shopping season.

If you do decided to take advantage of this offer, I would appreciate it if you put me down as your referrer (raianoat@gmail.com).
