Two big announcements in the world of Tivo this morning!

As of today, any additional Tivos on your account after the first one will see their monthly fee cut to $6.95, rather than $12.95. (Lifetime subs are still $299.)

But the biggest news is that the Home Media Option – previously a one-time $100 fee – is now a FREE STANDARD FEATURE of the Tivo service. The HMO adds four great features to Tivo, all of which are useless if you don’t have a home network, and one of which is useless if you don’t also have at least one other Series2 Tivo.

Still, it’s nice to see them give stuff away!
