Free Product Giveaway: TiVo Series 2 DVR
Dan Rayburn | Tuesday January 8, 2008 | 01:30 AM
UPDATE: Drawing is now closed. Tom Russo was selected as the winner using a random number picker website.
I have a brand new TiVo Series 2 DVR that TiVo sent me that I no longer need as I have upgraded to Verizon's FiOS TV service with their DVR. The unit records 80 hours and is brand new, with remote, but not with the original box or manual. No service is included, you will need to pay the monthly TiVo service fee.
To qualify to win the unit, all you have to do is leave one comment on this post with a working e-mail address. I will pick one user a week from today using a random number picker website and ship it out to the winner at no cost.
If any company is interested in getting exposure for their video related product on my blog and is willing to give away the product, contact me. I will post pictures of the product, link to the company website and either write a product review or link to other reviews on the web. It's great exposure on a blog that does over 300,000 page views a month.




Here I am, researching a bit of Silverlight, and, hey...who's going to pass up a chance @ a free TiVo... :)

Hey Dan,
If our product is a platform for professional company to build an internet tv channel and stream live, simulcast and on demand video, is it possible to give this service away for a company for a certain period?

Hi Norah, I am only giving away physical products like hardware and software. I am not giving away hosting account, platform accounts, free encoding services etc..... Thanks for asking.

Dan,
I thought Christmas was already over. I would love an opportunity to take that worthless boat anchor off your hands. I haven't forgotten your request for my Streaming Media East proposal, just too swamped to get to it for the next few days.
Wish me luck.

Really sad that companies like Level 3 wait until Limelight et al gain market acceptance before making these infringement claims. The Sandpiper/Level 3 patent filings were completed in 1998 and Limelight had its offerings in place well before February 2007.

What the hey. Sure could use a TiVo!

Hey, with all the time I spend watching streaming media, a TIVO's the only way I can keep up with the box...
Posted by: ChrisK | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 08:41 PM
I thought that perhaps I might have a chance, and I could really use a TiVo since all I have is basic cable now.

Hi Dan,
Looking forward to helping where I can for the next Streaming Media show. Here's to a great 2008.
Best,

Funny how we in the Online Video crowd are excited about good old cable DVR... time to declare a truce between tomorrow & today, perhaps?
