Tivo announces to give $100 instant rebate on Tivo digital recorders until August 20th.

The instant savings promotion is supposed to celebrate the birth of the new summer TV season.
In addition to the $100 instant savings, new Tivo customers can also receive two months free service if they activate new units by July 31. Monthly service fee is still at $12.95.

So, if you still watch TV without a digital video recorder (Impossible thought) this is a great opportunity to get one.

Amazon.com sells the Tivo Series2 40 Hour Digital Recorder for $98.99 (yes, $1 less than TiVo).

The MSRPs for the Tivo products after the instant rebate are:
40 hour TiVo Series2 $99
80 hour TiVo Series2 $199
140 Hour TiVo Series2 $249
Humax 40 hour DVD recorder with TiVo $299
Humax 80 hour DVD recorder with TiVo $399
