TiVo HD makes brief appearance on TiVo's website

It's not much, but for the desperate throngs waiting to TiVo in high def without having to fork over nearly a grand for the Series3, the brief appearance of the $300 TiVo HD on TiVo's site earlier this afternoon was a little bit of glory... until the listing got pulled. We don't know who you are, anonymous-and-possibly-reprimanded TiVo web guy, but rest assured you just caused a million anxious DVR-loving hearts to skip a beat.

I am buying it as soon as it hits the page.

I will only buy it if they allow me to transfer my Series 2 lifetime subscription.

[Kracko @ Jul 23rd 2007 10:53PM]

They will. I spoke with them yesterday. It's in their system and they have to look it up but it's still in there.

[Mp3 @ Jul 23rd 2007 11:08PM]

Are they charging for the transfer?

I talked to TiVo for my reivew (http://www.tivolovers.com/2007/07/24/tivo-hd-aka-series3-lite-announced-and-reviewed/) and asked about this specifically. TiVo is not doing lifetime transfers to the TiVo HD at this time.

Using that bit of code present in the image, I did a bit of finagling and found this:

So I went ahead and ordered it. Just got my order confirmation, so it must be legit.

First!

Good info, but not first!

Uh... It's on Tivo.com right now officially.

Nice catch!

Looks like it's the real deal, site currently says that they're adding it (they closed the shopping cart for maintenance). I have a screen shot on my blog, http://www.chrissundberg.com

"fork over nearly a grand" is exaggerating. I purchased my first Series 3 two months after release on Dell for $456 shipped. I purchased my second on Amazon a few weeks ago for $599 - $200 rebate for a total of $399.
