Didn't the MSRP drop by $100.00? You're only discounting an additional $40.00?

$619.00 is our best net cost delivered to your door. 5 yr. warranty and HD DVR T-shirt included.

HD Tivo price to drop to $599 on 7/31/05

URL removed

The above thread, to which I cannot address any questions, mentions that when you buy a HDTV that you should get $100 off the HDTIVO.

Do you know where is that discount available?

I think this is good to see another drop in price on this. It's a real shame they did not make this box Mpeg 4 capable. People outside the 1st scheduled Mpeg 4 markets can get some good use out of this HD Tivo for a good while. If DirecTV will indeed replace these boxes with new Mpeg 4 HD DVRs at some point this is a good deal IMO.

So if this drops in price on the 7/31 a $100 bucks, there is also suppose to be a rebate for $100 on DVRs starting 8/1 so essentially this can be a $200 price drop.

Where is this $100 discount on DVRs?

I would think the HD tivo could be had on line for under 450.00 on August 1st. Considering it can be now had for 550.00 on line

There is no current deliverable $550 price on-line. The $100 rebate and possible small price drop begins 8/1/05.

So after 8/1 I'll be able to get the rebate AND your delivered price of $619?

I believe the current $619 was price match that Robert was offering, had nothing to do with a price drop. But in the interest of not losing VE $$, you will have to find that on your own.

I would say... You should expect an even lower special forum price.

I will be using Robert & ValueElectronics to order my DirecTV as well. I was wondering, when is Phoenix, AZ going to be moving to MPEG4, where do you find this information at? I hope D* does in fact upgrade your box to MPEG4 when it becomes available it all our areas. Thanks! Joe

hi Robert,

[DTV TiVo Dealer]

The price has dropped down to $599 and installation is free to new subscribers. If you already have DIRECTV service, the 18x20 dish and installation is $50.

They should give existing subs free install too. My first D* was a few hundred and you had to install it yourself or pay I still have the old RCA in case I ever needed a backup. It served me well. I think Sunday ticket was actually reasonably priced then too. LOL.

D* is offering me $150 of the HD Tivo if I biy it through them, plus programming credits. I may just ask for free install. Anyone ever get the free install through CR? Or do they not negotiate on the installation?

I heard Best Buy will be offering it for $499 in the store if you buy a HD set PLUS a $100 mail in rebate in August. $399 for a HDTivo is just sick. 40% of what retail was just 1 year ago.

You should be able to get $250 off

You should be able to get $250 off

Before the $100 DVR rebate? For a total of $350 off? Any suggestions? Should I just call and say if you make the $150 off to $250 off I'll buy it right now?

Appreciate any advice and will certainly return the favor to the forum.

Im not sure, but it was usually a $250 programming credit towards your directv bill.
and you could buy from any retailer you wanted.

The offer I got was $150 immediately off the cost of the HD Tivo STB. Not a credit, an actual price reduction. So actual price would be $449 before MIR instead of just seeing the credit on my next bill. I already have HBO, so I got credits for HBO AND for the HD programming for 6 months, amounting to about another $150. 1/2 off both services.

So they add up to about $300. It sure would be great to get $250 right off the price of the receiver but I can live with $150 off plus $100 MIR.
