ALVISO, Calif., Nov. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Give your HDTV what it really wants this holiday, a TiVo HD DVR. With new prices on TiVo HD and TiVo HD XL DVRs, share the holiday gift that keeps giving all year long. The TiVo HD DVR is now available for only $249.99 and the TiVo HD XL is now $499.99 plus the cost of service.

"This holiday season consumers are focused on giving great gifts at a great value. It's not how much you spend, but how much you get for what you pay," said Tony Lee vice president of marketing for TiVo. "The TiVo service offers the world's largest on demand video library, giving you and your family countless hours of in-home entertainment. So rather than giving a gift that will be shoved into a junk drawer or forgotten days later, give the gift that your family will use all year long, a TiVo HD DVR."

In addition to the new, lower pricing TiVo is spreading the holiday spirit with a few festive holiday Facebook applications:

TiVo® Re-Gift it app: Ever get tired of opening lame over-gifted holiday items you seem to get every year, like festive boxers or fruitcake? Well now you can choose from our lineup of unwanted holiday gifts and re-gift 'em to your friends and then tell them what you REALLY want this holiday: Maybe a TiVo HD DVR?

My TV Family Holiday app: Imagine spending the upcoming holiday with your favorite TV characters as members of your family. Choose from dozens of iconic TV characters and build a dream family to spend your Holiday with. Be careful how you choose, because you just may end up with an even crazier family than the one you already have.

While TiVo is clearly a holiday gift worth giving, don't forget, the holidays aren't just for giving they're for getting. If you are thinking of buying an HDTV this holiday season, add on a TiVo to maximize your home entertainment experience. In addition to the already lowered price, customers can get an additional $100 off the cost of an HD TiVo DVR when buying an HDTV from Best Buy, lowering the price of a TiVo HD DVR to only $149.99.

A subscription to the TiVo service is required and sold separately. All product and TiVo service information and pricing can be found at tivo.com.
