ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

On August 30, 2006 we announced financial results for our second quarter ended July 31, 2006. Service and technology revenues for the quarter, which included recognition of Comcast development revenue of $3.0 million, increased 30% to $52.9 million, compared with $40.7 million for the same prior year period. Net loss for the quarter was ($6.4) million or ($0.07) per share, compared to a net loss of ($892,000), or ($0.01) per share, for the three months ended July 31, 2005, due primarily to the costs associated with litigation, more upfront hardware costs from the change to zero upfront pricing, and the expensing of stock options.

As of July 31, 2006 our total subscriptions were 4.4 million. TiVo-Owned subscription gross additions were 74,000 for the quarter, compared to 77,000 in the second quarter of last year. We achieved a slightly improved year-over-year churn rate from 1% for the quarter ended July 31, 2005 to .9% for the quarter ended July 31, 2006. TiVo-Owned subscription net additions were 30,000 compared to 40,000 in the second quarter of last year. The installed base of DIRECTV TiVo subscriptions has declined to approximately 2.8 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 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. We define 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). We do not include DIRECTV subscription gross additions in our calculation of SAC because we incur limited or no acquisition costs for new DIRECTV 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 measurement research. ARPU does not include rebates, revenue share and other payments to channel that reduce our GAAP revenues. Additionally, under the accounting policy for our bundled sales program, revenues associated with these bundled sales transactions, which were previously recognized as hardware revenues, are now being recognized in service revenues, which we believe will over time increase our ARPU as currently presented. 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 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 service and technology revenues.

For fiscal 2007, pursuant to the recently amended DIRECTV agreement, TiVo defers a portion of the DIRECTV subscription fees equal to the fair value of the undelivered development services. Otherwise the recurring subscriptions fees in this agreement are similar to the fees for the DIRECTV receivers with TiVo service activated since 2002.

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 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 service and technology revenues.
