TiVo está viniendo a las gracias de México a errr I mean TiVo is coming to Mexico City thanks to Cablevision. The company will distribute Spanish-speaking TiVo-based DVRs to Mexico City customers beginning in the first half of 2007.
Zatz scooped the story, but current information is limited. So no word yet on pricing or how fast service will spread beyond Mexico City. It is at least interesting to see TiVo creating a presence amongst our neighbors to the south.

Nice! Not that I’d use it considering I’m up in the mountains of Colorado and I’ve had DVR for some time, but I’m glad the TiVo love is spreading. Now, at least, my friends from Mexico will understand why I’m so addicted to skipping commercials!

Alex,
The TiVo service has been available in Canada for over a year now, and there are resellers in Canada as well as US resellers who ship there.

Well, it should be easy for that company to sell TiVo in Mexico City since Cablevision is the only cable provider. The other providers in the country, namely Megacable, Telecable and TV Cable have been offering Motorola’s DVRs AND high def programming for over a year. Cablevision has also, but without the TiVo branding. About prices, it doesn’t come cheap, $850 USD upfront for the DVR plus deluxe monthly programming if you want the HD channels.
