Comcast subscribers will pay just $2.95 extra per month for TiVo

If you've been waiting with baited breath to find out how much Comcast was going to charge customers for TiVo software on their Motorola set-top boxes, the wait is over: $2.95.

TiVo CEO Tom Rogers explained the new pricing during TiVo's quarterly earnings statement this week.

Now keep in mind, this doesn't mean you'll be getting TiVo service for just 3 bucks a month. Rather, that's how much you'll have to pay on top of whatever you already pay Comcast for cable service and PVR rental. But since Comcast generally charges less for PVR service than TiVo, this could turn out to a pretty good deal for consumers. And since you'll be using a Comcast box, you'll have access to video on demand without the need for a newfangled adapter.

TiVo and Comcast are expected to to start promoting the new service in the New England area soon.
