EarthLink to Offer TiVo DVRs with DSL

TiVo and EarthLink said Tuesday that they would begin offering a package deal where a consumer could purchase a stand-alone DVR unit and combine it with Internet or phone services through the ISP. Earthlink would be responsible for the marketing of the deal, which would begin later this year.

"This combined offering not only provides customers the simplicity and value of a bundle, but also provides seamless access to the growing portfolio of content and services that are being delivered via the Internet, directly to the living room," said EarthLink consumer products chief Gary Sonnier. Pricing for the offering, as well as financial terms of the deal, were not disclosed.
