Agreements with America Online

     Under the terms of our investment agreement, as amended, with America
Online, Inc., we escrowed $48 million and earmarked these funds to be used to
subsidize the production of the jointly developed AOL-TiVo set-top box. We
report these funds as restricted cash on our balance sheet and have not
considered them as working capital available to our business. We have since
modified our business model and intend to sharply reduce our subsidy payments.
As a result, the commitment of restricted cash for this purpose is no longer
essential to our plans.

     The investment agreement, as amended, provides that if the launch of the
AOL-TiVo set-top box has not occurred by December 31, 2001 or a later date
agreed to by both parties and AOL has not committed a material breach under our
related commercial agreement with AOL, then AOL has the option to require us to
use the escrowed funds to repurchase from AOL our Series A redeemable preferred
stock having an initial liquidation value of $48 million. The AOL-TiVo set-top
box was not launched by December 31, 2001 and we and AOL are in discussions
regarding modification of the terms of our agreements. There can be no
assurances about the outcome of these discussions.


Summary Judgment Granted in Ezra Birnbaum Litigation

     On January 10, 2002, the Supreme Court of the State of New York granted our
motion for summary judgment and dismissed on all counts the class action
complaint filed against us by Ezra Birnbaum, the details of which are set forth
in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended July 31,
2001 and October 31, 2001. Our summary judgment win became conclusive on March
1, 2002.
