Don’t Forget To Enter The TiVo HD Giveaway

Posted on Wednesday, April 16, 2008 by MegaZone

Just a little reminder, the deadline to enter the TiVo HD Giveaway is Friday night at midnight EST.

Checking my remaining points, I think I’ll be doing one more TiVo HD giveaway with similar rules for the readers.

But here’s the deal – it looks like I’m three donations shy of having enough TiVo Rewards points for a third TiVo HD giveaway. If I have enough points donated by April 28th, the last day you can give someone a referral, then not only will I do the third giveaway – but it will be open to anyone. All it will take is a comment, no need to link to anything. (Yes, I realize I’m asking for comment hell on that post.) And I’ll take it further – if people manage to really funnel the points my way, an additional seven referrals, I’ll do another one just like it. (A TiVo HD is 35,000 points, and referrals are 5,000 points each.) So three more means one TiVo HD in a wide open giveaway, 10 more for two, 17 for three, etc… not that I think 17 will happen, but stranger things…

    Darn! If I hadn’t agreed to join the crew until next month, I would’ve been eligible. :)

    As far as I’m concerned both you and Mark are eligible for the giveaways since I’m doing them all myself and neither of you have any influence over the drawing – which I do using a Perl random selection script so even I don’t have influence really. Other than who I list for the script to select from.

    When I entered this give-away, I screwed up some how and linked to someones name a couple names below the post I was trying to link to. I’m sure that disqualifies me from this drawing, but I’d sure like to see another give-away in the future :) In any case, your generousity by having these drawings is awesome! Thank you Megazone!

    Rob – Just another comment and mention the problem with the first one. :-)

    I’ll volunteer to take one. Hey, its becoming an issue that I can’t move the HD shows from the Living Room Tivo HD to our Bedroom Series 2 so it would be great to get another one…

    Awesome site!

    glenn what types of problems are you having while transfering from your HD to series 2 tivo. i currently ahve a series 2DT and i want a HD tivo, i just want to know what kind of troubles you are having.

    Rob – HD content can’t be transferred to an S2/S2DT, of course. So that’s one issue. Another is that digital content is more likely to be flagged with ‘Do Not Copy’ flags that block MRV. This varies from cable MSO to cable MSO, and even region to region on the same MSO. Some seem to flag more content than others.
