Unusual TiVo Packing Material
We’ve seen some strange customer shipments in the past, but we haven’t seen anything quite like this one. In a nod to recycling zealots worldwide, we got, and then promptly recycled, the packaging material from this TiVo that arrived here at WeaKnees today:
The TiVo is under there, in the bubble-wrap. Below the Huggies box. And the Moist Supreme box. And the Tuna Helper box.
We’re getting in a big batch of our ever-popular DVD TiVos today, so, for a limited time, we’re offering a coupon for $100 off these units. That brings the base unit to $149 – our lowest price ever!
Use Coupon Code: HUMAX100
If you’re looking for a standard def TiVo, these are perfect units. They can burn shows to DVD from your TiVo, or from an external source like a video camera. And they have all the regular TiVo features including the peanut remote, online scheduling, Season Passes, WishLists, etc.
We have these units in several capacities from 40 hours on up to close to 1000 hours.
And we have two varieties: the DRT400 and the DRT800. The DRT800 includes a FireWire port for grabbing video from a video camera and saving it to the DVR for viewing, or even for burning to DVD. The DRT400 can still import video from a camera or VCR, but only through analog inputs.
We’ve also lowered our prices on extended warranties for these unit. Come check out our complete Humax DVD TiVo selection!

New TiVo HD Box Note
I just opened up a new pallet of TiVo HD units, and I saw this new graphic on the boxes:
So this made me think, are people mistakenly buying these boxes, assuming they’ll work with satellite TV? Or is TiVo changing the packaging so that they can distinguish it with the DirecTV HD TiVo when it ships?
I’m hoping that this means the latter, and that this also means they’re working on designing the packaging for it. Judging by the amount of requests we’re already getting for it, the DirecTV HD TiVo should be a pretty big hit.
OK – we’ve been selling some 2 TB TiVos for a while, but not like this one. This one has ALL of the storage inside the unit, and it’s all on one 2 TB drive.
So now you can get the biggest capacity, all in one box. No external drive means no extra power plug, no cables, no lights, lower power requirements, etc.
The size is about the same capacity-wise as our 2 TB units that come with one internal terabyte drive and one external terabyte drive. And, sorry to say, due to the cost of these 2 TB drives, it costs a bit more. But you can’t beat the advantages.
For technical reasons, this size is only available on the TiVo HD XL. See our complete 2TB TiVo HD XL (Internal) product page.
Here’s a screenshot of the System Information screen:
