Practically FreeVo

Sign up for a year of TiVo service and receive a $170 rebate – the equivalent of getting this TiVo free, plus $35 towards your service contract.

Look, it’s time we had a talk. We’re worried about you, and we can’t just sit here while you destroy yourself, while you waste your life trapped in a squalid cycle of degradation. Please, for the sake of those who love you: stop watching TV commercials.

The average American watches about 2.5 hours of television every day. About 40 of those minutes are taken up by TV commercials. Multiply that by 50 years, and commercials will have destroyed over 500 days of your adult life. Remember that when you’re on your deathbed wishing you could spend one more day with your grandkids.

There is a way out. You’re not alone. To fight this epidemic of slow TV death, Woot and TiVo have teamed up to make a limited number of TiVo R54080 Series2 80 Hour Digital Video Recorders available to victims of TV commercial syndrome, for a special sufferer’s price. And if you buy one and sign up for a year of TiVo service, you’re eligible for a $170 rebate, which will pay for the TiVo itself plus two month's worth of service. We just wish we could do more.

And we haven't even mentioned the time you waste sitting through one show because you’re waiting for the next one, or watching some random garbage on TV because nothing good is on. Perhaps it’s best that no statistics are available about this more insidious form of time-drain – the full horror would be too overwhelming.

We dream of a world where anyone can dial up the latest episode of Age of Love or UFC Unleashed any time, day or night…where a handicapped child can watch an entire episode of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody in 22 minutes…where agonized Chicago Cubs fans can process their pain by repeated slo-mo viewings of whatever bizarre misplay keeps them out of the World Series next time. We say to that lonely adolescent boy in the heartland, struggling with new, unfamiliar feelings: “Never again will you miss a Cinemax After Hours feature presentation.” We say, to those still scarred by the “smunchy” disaster: “Never again.”

You will watch what you want to watch, when you want to watch it, and nothing more. But we can’t do it alone. You have to want help. The road back will be long and rough and littered with those who didn’t make it. But with TiVo and Woot by your side, hope is more than just a currently unfashionable girl’s name. Together, we can beat this thing.
