ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

On May 30, 2007, we announced financial results for our first quarter ended April 30, 2007. Net service and technology revenues for the quarter, which included recognition of Comcast development revenue of $3.3 million, increased 6% to $58.1 million, compared with $55.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. In the quarter ended April 30, 2006, we recognized Comcast development revenue of $7.2 million of which $4.6 million was related to work performed in fiscal year 2006. Net income for the quarter was $835,000 or $0.01 per basic and diluted share compared to a net loss of ($10.7) million or ($0.13) per share, for the three months ended April 30, 2006.

As of April 30, 2007 our total subscriptions were 4.3 million. TiVo-Owned subscription gross additions were 57,000 for the quarter, compared to 91,000 in the first quarter of last fiscal year. Our monthly churn rate increased to 1.1% for the quarter ended April 30, 2007 as compared to 0.9% in the year ago period. TiVo-Owned subscription net additions were 1,000 compared to 51,000 in the first quarter of last fiscal year. The installed base of DIRECTV TiVo subscriptions has declined to approximately 2.6 million.

TiVo-Owned Churn Rate per Month. Management reviews this metric, and believes it may be useful to investors, in order to evaluate our ability to retain existing TiVo-Owned subscriptions (including both monthly and product lifetime subscriptions) by providing services that are competitive in the market. Management believes factors such as service enhancements, service commitments, higher customer satisfaction, and improved customer support may improve this metric. Conversely, management believes factors such as increased competition, lack of competitive service features, and increased price sensitivity may cause our TiVo-Owned Churn Rate per month to increase.

We define the TiVo-Owned Churn Rate per month as the total TiVo-Owned subscription cancellations in the period divided by the Average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for the period (including both monthly and product lifetime subscriptions), which then is divided by the number of months in the period. We calculate Average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for the period by adding the average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for each month and dividing by the number of months in the period. We calculate the average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for each month by adding the beginning and ending subscriptions for the month and dividing by two. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating churn and caution that our presentation may not be consistent with that of other companies.

Subscription Acquisition Costs (SAC)

   $ 248     $ 178     $ 226     $ 171  
                                

Subscription Acquisition Cost or SAC. Management reviews this metric, and believes it may be useful to investors, in order to evaluate trends in the efficiency of our marketing programs and subscription acquisition strategies. We define SAC as our total acquisition costs for a given period divided by TiVo-Owned subscription gross additions for the same period. In the first fiscal quarter of 2008, we revised our definition of total acquisition costs. Previously, we defined total acquisition costs as the sum of sales and marketing expenses, rebates, revenue share, and other payments to channel, minus hardware gross margin (defined as hardware revenues less cost of hardware revenues). This previous measure included fixed costs not directly associated with subscription acquisitions such as headcount related expense, like stock based compensation; certain marketing expenses that are not directly associated with subscription acquisitions; certain operating expenses more directly related to our advertising sales business; and

overhead allocations. We now define total acquisition costs as sales and marketing, subscription acquisition costs less net hardware revenues (defined as gross hardware revenues less rebates, revenue share and market development funds paid to retailers) plus cost of hardware revenues. The new sales and marketing, subscription acquisition costs line item includes advertising expenses and promotion related expenses directly related to subscription acquisition activities. All prior period SAC calculations have been revised to conform to the current period calculation. We do not include third parties subscription gross additions, such as DIRECTV gross additions with TiVo subscriptions, in our calculation of SAC because we incur limited or no acquisition costs for these new subscriptions. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating total acquisition costs or SAC and caution that our presentation may not be consistent with that of other companies.

DIRECTV ARPU per month

Average Revenue Per Subscription or ARPU. Management reviews this metric, and believes it may be useful to investors, in order to evaluate the potential of our subscription base to generate revenues from a variety of sources, including subscription fees, advertising, and audience research measurement. ARPU does not include rebates, revenue share and other payments to channel that reduce our GAAP revenues. As a result, you should not use ARPU as a substitute for measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes it is useful to consider this metric excluding the costs associated with rebates, revenue share and other payments to channel because of the discretionary nature of these expenses and because management believes these expenses are more appropriately monitored as part of SAC. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating ARPU and caution that our presentation may not be consistent with that of other companies.

We calculate ARPU per month for TiVo-Owned subscriptions by subtracting DIRECTV-related service revenues (which includes DIRECTV subscription service revenues and DIRECTV-related advertising revenues) from our total reported net service revenues and dividing the result by the number of months in the period. We then divide by Average TiVo-Owned subscriptions for the period, calculated as described above for churn rate. The above table shows this calculation and reconciles ARPU for TiVo-Owned subscriptions to our reported net service and technology revenues.

We calculate ARPU per month for DIRECTV subscriptions by first subtracting TiVo-Owned-related service revenues (which includes TiVo-Owned subscription service revenues and TiVo-Owned related advertising revenues) from our total reported net service revenues. Then we divide average revenues per month for DIRECTV-related service revenues by average subscriptions for the period. The above table shows this calculation and reconciles ARPU for DIRECTV subscriptions to net service and technology revenues.

Beginning in February 2006, pursuant to the most recent amendment of our agreement with DIRECTV, TiVo defers a portion of the DIRECTV subscription fees equal to the fair value of the undelivered development services. Additionally, beginning in February 2007, DIRECTV began paying us a monthly fee for all DIRECTV households with DIRECTV receivers with TiVo service similar to the lower amount paid by DIRECTV for households with DIRECTV receivers with TiVo service deployed since March 15, 2002, subject to a monthly minimum payment by DIRECTV. As a result, our DIRECTV ARPU decreased relative to the same period last year.
