Tivo Has No Free Shipping to Hawaii

Aww, that’s a real bummer. Tivo has a promotion to upgrade existing customers to their new Roamio platform. Sadly, their free shipping offer isn’t valid for Hawaii. The estimated shipping is $38 which is significant. Amazon sells the Roamios as well so with Amazon’s discount and truly free shipping, Tivo’s promotion is essentially negated.

And you can order a bigger drive to replace the stock drive while shopping at Amazon. Seems like the WD Green AV or Red line of drives works better for Tivo’s working environment. The Roamios max out with a 3-TB drive, but if you want to pinch a penny, you can get a 2-TB drive.
