Yes I have also been told the same by a salesman that TiVo has told them they can't give heavy discounts to a TiVo sale as they want their RRP pricing to stay firm.

Dick Smith offered me $650, but it seems hard to go under that. I will keep a look out too.

Seems TiVo are happy to do the discounting themselves as when North Sydney DSE re-opened a couple of weeks ago, they had a dude dressed in a TiVo outfit handing out $100 discount vouchers.

Jeremy, I have also approached TiVo themselves to see if they can throw around a deal for us or some of their discount vouchers for a group buy. They have passed my request onto a specialised team within the company to discuss. Will post any news here as it comes through.
