TiVo Cares & Gives Back for the Holidays

Katrina Disaster

still in need....

Hurricane Katrina struck the New Orleans area early morning August 29, 2005. The storm surge breached the city's levees at multiple points, leaving 80 percent of the city submerged, tens of thousands of victims clinging to rooftops, and hundreds of thousands scattered to shelters around the country. Three weeks later, Hurricane Rita reflooded much of the area. The devastation to the Gulf Coast by these two hurricanes has been called the greatest disaster in our nation's history.

With every TiVo Toaster sold, TiVo is able to donate $9 to The Katrina Fund.

James Kim

As much of the country knows, James Kim tragically lost his life while trying to save his stranded family. What much of the country may not know is that James worked for one of our TiVo partners, CNET. He was a Senior Technical editor covering digital audio and consumer product reviews for CNET. He was also featured in many of CNET's weekly broadcasts on TiVoCast. CNET is one of TiVo's early TiVoCast partners. When James was featured, his video segments were anywhere from three to ten minutes in length.

While the TiVoCast team did not work directly with James, he would have been well known to TiVoCast subscribers as CNET receives the most downloads of all of the TiVoCast partners. Like many of our working relationships here at TiVo, our partners at CNET worked with him very closely with James. They have lost a great colleague and more importantly, a friend.

With every TiVo Snow Globe sold, TiVo is able to donate $5 to The James Kim Family Trust Fund.
