TiVo, EarthLink Team

ALVISO, Calif. and ATLANTA -- TiVo Inc. (NASDAQ:TIVO), the creator of and a leader in television services for digital video recorders (DVRs), and EarthLink Inc. (NASDAQ:ELNK), today announced an agreement to offer bundled Internet and television services, through the stand-alone TiVo(R) Series2(TM) Dual Tuner (DT) DVR and TiVo(R) service and EarthLink branded dial-up, DSL, or digital voice services.

The agreement brings together two companies with a passion for delivering high value services in a simple, safe package for consumers.

Together, EarthLink and TiVo can provide a unique bundle that further enhances EarthLink's DSL data services with TiVo's innovative broadband video offerings, including the recently announced Amazon Unbox on TiVo. Subscribers can also receive the traditional features for which TiVo has become known, including Season Pass(TM) recordings, WishList(R) searches, online scheduling, TiVo KidZone, TiVoToGo transfers, and TiVo's easy-to-use online services, all of which extend EarthLink's delivery of safe, easy-to-use services into the living room.

"TiVo delivers an unmatched DVR experience, bringing all sources of video -- broadcast, cable, broadband -- together into a seamless interface for the consumer," said Naveen Chopra, Vice President Corporate Development at TiVo. "We are excited to team up with EarthLink and believe that together we can deliver a powerful combination of the TiVo Service and broadband to consumer living rooms."
