TiVo deal is set to bring revolution in the entertainment sector of New Zealand, with the high-end services scheduled to start in November. The deal will enable telecom broadband customers to download their favorite programs and movies without affecting their monthly broadband data downloading limit.

Besides, customers can view Freeview HD channels without any additional payment. Games and information services will also be made available to all customers under the same broadband plan.

Robbee Minicola, CEO of Hybrid TV, said: "We are very pleased to have New Zealand's largest telecommunication provider support our efforts in supplying unmetered broadband entertainment to the TiVo media device."

Moreover, the TiVo media device would provide very user-friendly features, such as pause and rewind live TV, auto recording and facility to record every episode in a series for further viewing.

Customers need to pay $920.00 for the TiVo Media Device plus the Wireless Adaptor. Alan Gourdie, CEO of Telecom Retail, said: "TiVo represents a revolution in the way Kiwis watch television, this new entertainment service allows the freedom to watch what you want, when you want and enjoy top rated movies on the television without impacting your monthly broadband data allowance,"
