ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

Third Quarter Results

On November 20, 2001, we reported financial results for the third quarter ended
October 31, 2001. During the third quarter, we activated 51,000 new subscribers
to the TiVo Service, bringing the total subscriber base to approximately 280,000
as of October 31, 2001.

     Revenue for the quarter increased 29% to $5.3 million, compared with $4.1
million for the three-month period ending July 31, 2001 and $1.1 million for the
third quarter of last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was a loss of $12.2
million, compared with a loss of $24.0 million in the second quarter, and a loss
of $66.1 million for the third quarter of last year. Net loss for the quarter
was $34.5 million, or $(0.81) per share, which was flat compared with the second
quarter and a dramatic improvement from a net loss of $72.7 million, or $(1.89)
per share, for the third quarter of last year.

Our total subscriber base increased by 28% in the quarter and increased 65%
compared to the third quarter of last year. We delivered our first full quarter
of positive service margin, defined as total revenue minus cost of revenue.

TiVo Signs Commercial Agreements with Sony and AT&T Broadband

On October 18, we announced a worldwide licensing agreement with Sony
Corporation Japan. On November 7, we announced an agreement with AT&T Broadband
to introduce the TiVo Digital Video Recorder and service to AT&T Broadband
customers in selected markets in New England, Colorado and California.

Executive Appointments and Promotions

We are implementing a new business model intended to lower acquisition
costs and be less capital intensive. In order to align operations to focus on
growth in licensing and subscriber revenue, on November 20, 2001, our Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer, Mike Ramsay, announced a number of executive
promotions of certain members of our senior executive staff.

     Morgan Guenther was named President of TiVo, reporting to Mr. Ramsay. Mr.
     Guenther, formerly Senior Vice President of Business and Revenue
     Development of TiVo, joined TiVo in June 1999 as Vice President, Business
     Development.

     David Courtney was promoted to Executive Vice President, Worldwide
     Operations and Administration and Chief Financial Officer, reporting to Mr.
     Ramsay. Mr. Courtney, formerly Senior Vice President of Finance and
     Administration and Chief Financial Officer, joined the company in March
     1999 as Chief Financial Officer.

     Ta-Wei Chien was named Senior Vice President and General Manager, TiVo
     Technologies, reporting to Mr. Guenther. Mr. Chien will head our licensing
     organization, which will include engineering, professional services,
     business development and sales. Mr. Chien, most recently Senior Vice
     President of Engineering and Operations, joined TiVo in February 1998 as
     Vice President of Engineering and Operations.
