You knew they had to be out there in some warehouse somewhere. Well, we found them (or they found us). We now have stock of new DirecTV TiVos!
They’re all HDVR2 models, and we’ve upgraded them to various capacities. They weren’t cheap, so we can’t sell them cheap, but if you want new merchandise, we’ve got it, while it lasts.
See our DirecTV TiVo page for information about all of our standard definition DirecTiVos.

Here’s one that seems to be a bit out of left field: Earthlink will bundle TiVo services with its DSL lines. If you opt for the package, you’ll get access to Amazon Unbox. I assume the monthly pricing for the two services will be discounted from the cost of purchasing each independently.
I’m a little surprised. Certainly partnerships are generally a good thing, but TiVo is partnering with a company that largely sells DSL and dial-up internet access. The biggest competitors to Earthlink are other DSL providers, and cable companies selling broadband access via cable lines. I would personally think that TiVo has much more to gain by working the other side of the ISP market: the cable companies. Their partnership with Comcast should bear fruit soon and we’re all hoping they’ll re-ignite talks with DirecTV now that Liberty is in charge over there.
The press release is here.
