My Birthday and a Special Request
February 28th, 2008 by Marcus
Thank you to CJ and everyone who took a moment to wish me a happy birthday last week. I really do appreciate it! Contrary to what CJ says, I am very much old enough to drink! This year marks 24 years of life.
My birthday present for this year arrived tonight. I am now the very proud owner of a TiVo HD!
I got a TiVo Series 2 last October before I got HD cable service. I've wanted an HD TiVo from the second I saw my first HD show. I am thrilled I was finally able to get one. Now for my request.
TiVo has a referrer program that awards points for each person you refer. The current program is going to be phased out very soon and I have unused points that I need to use up. The problem is the only thing I'm really interested in getting costs more points than I currently have. If you have ever considered getting TiVo, now is a perfect time. They are running a special on refurb'd HD units at savings of 33%, or you can go with a Series 2 DT.
There is a bit of upfront cost, but I can't begin to explain how TiVo is worth it. The service charge per month is less than what your local cable company will charge for their DVR, and you will also own the box forever. I do not think I will ever be able to be without TiVo ever again. If you try it out and don't agree, there is a 30 day money back guarentee.
If anyone would like to try out TiVo, please remember that marcus at artitumis dot com referred you!
