Bulk TivoHD purchase

**BurnieM** · 08-03-2009, 11:10 AM

Picked up a TiVo HD from JB HiFi Hornsby (northern Sydney) for $600 on Thursday evening (TiVo only. No network adapter)

They had a pile with a sign on top. It had $699 crossed out and 'ask for a deal'.
No negotiating; the salesman offered $600 up front and I took it

That would be great - I hope this goes through as I am really after more TiVo boxes. Ill just add that I am now after 2 TiVo HD boxes instead of one as I originally posted. Please keep the details coming as the info comes though.

I keen too as well, but considering the recent announcement of Internode & Tivo it maybe worth holding on a bit longer to see if they will release any deals...

Otherwise keen as.

The SMH mentioned this morning that internode would be offering the Tivo, a Wireless router, Wireless card and an unlim Internet plan for somewhere between $79-$99 a month on a 24 month contract. ($1896 - $2376).
A little pricey if you ask me.

But lends merit to the comment of wait untill then end of march/april for a better deal?

Just a quick update that nothing has come through yet from TiVo. Looks like I will have to go chasing them. Will do so today.

I have just noticed on Whirlpool that DOMINOES employees can get a TiVo for $499 including wireless. Anyone know someone that works there to suss out how this deal works?

This morning I have been able to find them for $580 (bulk purchase, excluding wirless adapter).

BUT it has now become more about the hunt to match $499 with wireless then it has about actualy owning one.

DTVFORUM reporting $600 with wireless adapter from a few stores now (JB, HN)

Seems like TiVo don't want to talk about a bulk purchase. Still no response after a second chase-up. Even a NO reply would be appreciated if that's their response!

I'll keep you posted.

Given the lack of response and flexibility from Tivo (the company) and the whole debarkel around the price of the home networking pack I have decided to abandon my search for a tivo and go for foxtel with IQ. Not as good I know but i'm "standing up".
