Enter to win a free TiVo and 1 year of service from the Fundie TV Council!
You Could Win a TiVo® Box and 1 YEAR FREE SERVICE!

Thanks to the folks at TiVo® we're giving away a free TiVo® Series 2™ box with remote and one year's TiVo® service! That's a $224 value!



The TiVo® Series 2™ box let's you pause, rewind and slow-mo live shows. You can set your TiVo® box to record shows from the web! And now with the new TiVo® KidZone you can program your TiVo® box to record PTC-approved shows, blocking your children from the shows that you deem inappropriate. And you get one year's free service from TiVo®.




After your free year has run out, your TiVo service will be charged at the then-applicable monthly rate, currently $12.95 per month.


(For complete information on the TiVo® box, go to their web site www.tivo.com). Please see "System Requirements" to understand what you need to use the TiVo® system.
