ALVISO, Calif. -- TiVo Inc. (Nasdaq: TIVO - News), the creator of and a leader in television services for digital video recorders (DVRs), today reported financial results for the second quarter ended July 31, 2007.

"We made significant progress over the past six months on several areas of our business that we believe will positively impact the growth prospects of TiVo," said Tom Rogers, CEO of TiVo. "During the quarter, we rolled out a new popularly priced TiVo HD box. In addition, our TiVo on Comcast service is progressing well and importantly, Comcast has agreed to fund substantial development work to bring the TiVo service on Comcast to additional platforms, including Scientific Atlanta set top boxes."

Last month, TiVo launched a mass appeal high definition unit, which was very well received by the press, industry analysts, and more critically, TiVo's retail partners. This new product will enable TiVo to more significantly participate in the high definition wave in retail, where there has been an accelerated movement away from standard definition technology to a greater focus on high definition television sales.

Mr. Rogers stated, "Retailers such as Best Buy and Circuit City are enthusiastic about our new HD product and are embracing TiVo in new and unique ways including better merchandising, improved floor placement, demos, and more aggressive positioning of TiVo as a centerpiece to an HD media center. Early indications are that retailer orders are very promising, which we believe will lead to sequential improvements in TiVo-Owned gross additions in Q3."
