What would you you do for a free TiVo? The good folks at the corporate home of Tivo Australia are banking on you doing quite a bit.  They’ve got  5 TiVo Media Devices up for grabs in their Easter Hunt challenge which runs from Easter Monday through until Friday the 24th of April.

You’ll be glad of those twelve days when you see what they’d like you to do.  There are seven (a clever Channel 7 tie in?) challenges in all.  Three are fairly painless – click to a website as directed and snap a picture of yourself and the desired image.  Two challenges will require you to drag yourself off the couch and into a video store and a TiVo retailer to take another two photos as directed.  Challenge Six will have you and as many of your friends as possible dressing up head to toe in one of the six TiVo colours for another photo opportunity.

At this point, you might be thinking, “Well it’s all seems a lot of bother to go to, but at least I don’t have to come up with twenty five words expressing my undying love of all things TiVo.”

Unfortunately you’d be wrong.  Enter the seventh and final challenge. TiVo must know that it’s simply not possible to express one’s love of TiVo in such few words so they’ve upped the ante and actually want you to submit a mini thesis.  In no more than 250 words complete the following, ‘If I had a TiVo my life would change because…’

The Incomplete Gamer will pass on this one.  Our track record suggests we’d only complete half the challenges before losing interest, and besides; our Series 1 machines are still going strong.  You however should go right ahead. You’ll find all the details right here.
