I have no idea if this is officially endorsed by TiVo or what, but check out The TiVo House Party. I’m not sure exactly what the site’s angle is. Apparently you sign up and then they select people to be hosts of house parties to introduce other people to something the host enjoys – like TiVo. (They’re also planning a TiVo KidZone specific one.) They send you some kind of host kit with stuff to give away, etc. It looks like the site is basically designed to encourage viral marketing amongst friends. See “What is a House Party™?”

There is now a Canadian company selling TiVo: The PVR Source. They sell standard S2 TiVos, as well as upgraded units similar to WeaKnees.com or PTVUpgrade.com in the US. Since they’re in Canada, Canadians can order from them without worrying about customs and shipping from the US.

The NY Times has profiled Tom Rogers, president and CEO of TiVo. I picked it up from ZatzNotFunny
