News You Can Use From TiVo, Volume 58

What looks like a peanut, has a smooth, velvety feel, and is violet in color (precisely the same purple as the “o” in the oh-so-cute TiVo logo)?

A brand-new addition to our growing list of TiVo rewards, that’s what. This TiVo replacement remote control is a limited-edition TiVo Rewards exclusive and it can be yours for only 3,500 TiVo Points. Or it can be mine, if you kindly use your great surplus of points
to send one to me. As someone who nearly drooled on the prototype, I can assure you this puppy is one you’d be proud to have in your living room (and I don’t usually
have a thing for remote controls, I swear).

So, if you haven’t already, register now for TiVo Rewards and start earning TiVo Points towards a new TiVo® box (yes, including the much-coveted NEW DVD Recorder with TiVo), exclusive TiVo merchandise and much more. We know you share your love for the TiVo service with friends and family all the time so let us reward
you for it. Plus, with all that holiday shopping coming round the bend, now would be a perfect time to apply for the TiVo MasterCard® card so you can also get TiVo Points for spending money.

To many happy REWINDS,
Shanan

“While doing a WishListâ„¢
keyword search on my husband’s native Pittsburgh, I came across a show called If Walls Could Talk,” writes Rachel M. from Virginia Beach,
VA. “The series spotlights old homes and their history as discovered by the new owners during the process of refurbishing and redecorating. Sometimes
they come across old newspapers and letters, even a diary, other times it’s ornate, hand-carved woodwork or even old stairwells and rooms that tell the
story.” To top it off, Rachel says, the HGTV program is hosted by “the hunky” Grant Goodeve (think eldest son David from Eight is Enough).
“If you enjoy Antiques Roadshow and love to learn the history behind things, then If Walls Could Talk is for you,” says Rachel. But even if
you’re not interested in history and the stories behind old homes, Rachel promises that it’s still worth a peek: “Check it out for Grant Goodeve,”
she adds. “He hasn’t aged a day!”

Got an opinion on great TV? Recommend it to your fellow subscribers with a compelling pitch that includes a few reasons why the show is a standout. We’ll
feature a new recommendation every newsletter.

Here’s an unusual tip for power (nap) users, e-mailed to this
dubious editor by subscribers Scott S. and Rich D., who have apparently gotten very cozy with the idea of using the TiVo service as an alarm clock. Yep.
If you ever find yourself drifting off to sleep on the couch while watching TV, but don’t want to call it a night, press PAUSE on your TiVo remote, they
say, and do what sleepyheads do best. Thirty minutes later, when TiVo automatically resumes play (in live TV mode), the sound of the show should rouse you
from your precious R.E.M. Wanting a shorter slumber? Try the TiVo button. After 15 minutes on TiVo Central, the TiVo service will automatically default to
live TV to stir you from your siesta. For best results, Rich suggest you turn up the volume a tad to ensure the job gets done. (Just to be clear:
The “power nap” is not a supported feature; TiVo Inc. is not responsible for unattended Saturday afternoon chores and/or incomplete family
errands due to never-ending napping and/or use of a TiVo “snooze-button” technique.) Got a clever suggestion of your own? Be a TiVo tipster and tell us how YOU use the TiVo service to get what you want.
