PROXY STATEMENT

This proxy statement contains information related to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of TiVo Inc., including any postponements or adjournments, to be held on Wednesday, August 4, 2004 beginning at 10:30 a.m. at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP, 135 Commonwealth Drive, Menlo Park, California. This proxy statement and accompanying proxy card are being first mailed to stockholders on or about June 25, 2004.

ABOUT THE MEETING

What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

At our 2004 Annual Meeting, stockholders will act upon the matters outlined in the notice of meeting on the cover page of this proxy statement, including the election of four directors, ratification of the selection of the Company’s independent auditors, and any other business as may properly come before the meeting.

Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on June 9, 2004, the record date for the meeting, are entitled to receive notice of and to participate in the 2004 Annual Meeting. If you were a stockholder of record as of the close of business on that date, you will be entitled to vote all of the shares that you held on that date at the meeting, or any postponements or adjournments of the meeting.

What are the voting rights of the holders of TiVo common stock?

Each outstanding share of TiVo common stock will be entitled to one vote on each matter considered at the meeting.

Who can attend the meeting?

Subject to space availability, all stockholders as of the record date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the meeting. Since seating is limited, admission to the meeting will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Please also note that if you hold your shares in “street name” (that is, through a broker or other nominee), you will need to bring a copy of a brokerage statement reflecting your stock ownership as of the record date.

What constitutes a quorum?

The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the common stock outstanding as of the close of business on the record date will constitute a quorum, permitting the meeting to conduct its business. At the close of business on May 10, 2004, there were 80,294,488 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Proxies received but marked as abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in the calculation of the number of votes considered to be present at the meeting.

How do I vote?

If you complete and properly sign the accompanying proxy card and return it to the Company, it will be voted as you direct. If you are a registered stockholder and attend the meeting, you may deliver your completed proxy card in person. “Street name” stockholders, who wish to vote at the meeting will need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds their shares.

-1-

Can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?

Yes. Even after you have submitted your proxy, you may revoke or change your vote at any time before the proxy is exercised by filing with the Corporate Secretary of the Company at our principal executive office, 2160 Gold Street, P.O. Box 2160, Alviso, CA 95002, a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or it may be revoked by attending the meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy.

What are the Board of Director’s recommendations?

Unless you give other instructions on your proxy card, the persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. The Board’s recommendation is set forth together with the description of each item in this proxy statement. In summary, the Board recommends a vote:

•

for the election of four directors to hold office until the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (see Item 1); and

•

for ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as independent auditors for TiVo for its fiscal year ending January 31, 2005 (see Item 2).

With respect to any other business that properly comes before the meeting, the proxy holders will vote as recommended by the Board or, if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion.

What vote is required to approve each item?

All votes will be tabulated by the Inspector of Elections appointed for the meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions, and broker non-votes. Any proxy which is returned using the form of proxy enclosed and which is not marked as to a particular item will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. With respect to any other business that properly comes before the meeting, the proxy holders will vote as recommended by the Board or, if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion, as the case may be with respect to the item not marked. We believe that the tabulation procedures to be followed by the Inspector of Elections are consistent with the general statutory requirements in Delaware concerning voting of shares and determination of a quorum.

Election of Directors. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting is required for the election of directors. A properly executed proxy marked “Withhold authority” with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.

Other Items. For each other item, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the item will be required for approval at which a quorum is present as is required under Delaware law for approval of proposals presented to stockholders. In general, Delaware law also provides that a quorum consists of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy. A properly executed proxy marked “Abstain” with respect to such matter will not be voted, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a negative vote.

If you hold your shares in “street name” through a broker or other nominee, your broker or nominee may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to some of the matters to be acted upon. Thus, if you do not give you broker or nominee specific instructions, your shares may not be voted on those matters and will not be counted in determining the number of shares necessary for approval. Share represented by such “broker non-votes’ will, however be count in determining whether there is a quorum.

There is no statutory or contractual right of appraisal or similar remedy available to those stockholders who dissent from any matter to be acted upon.

-2-

Who pays for the solicitation of proxies?

We will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies including preparation, assembly, printing, and mailing of this proxy statement, the proxy card, and any additional information furnished to stockholders. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokerage houses, fiduciaries, and custodians holding in their names shares of common stock beneficially owned by others to forward to such beneficial owners. We may reimburse persons representing beneficial owners of common stock for their costs of forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. Original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, telegram, or personal solicitation by our directors, officers, or other regular employees. No additional compensation will be paid to our directors, officers, or other regular employees for such services.

Is my vote confidential?

Proxies, ballots, and voting tabulations are handled on a confidential basis to protect your voting privacy. Information will not be disclosed except as required by law.

How do I find out the voting results?

Final voting results will be announced at the meeting and will be published in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending October 31, 2004. We will file this quarterly report with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). After the report is filed, you may obtain a copy by:

•

visiting our website; or

•

contacting our Investor Relations department at (408) 519-9101.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, each class consisting, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of directors, with each class having a three-year term. Vacancies on the Board may be filled only by persons elected by a majority of the remaining directors. A director elected by the Board to fill a vacancy (including a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors) shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified.

The Board is presently composed of eleven members. The Board has selected the four Class II director nominees listed below to be elected at the 2004 Annual Meeting.

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting. Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of the four nominees named below.

DIRECTOR NOMINATING PROCESS

The Nominating and Governance Committee considers candidates for director nominees proposed by Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, and security holders. The Committee may also retain recruiting professionals to identify and evaluate candidates for director nominees.

The Committee evaluates all aspects of a candidate’s qualifications in the context of the needs of the Company with a view to creating a Board with a diversity of experience and perspectives. As set forth in accordance with the Nominating and Governance Committee’s charter, the same evaluating procedures apply to all candidates for director nomination, including candidates submitted by security holders. Among a candidate’s qualifications and skills considered important are personal and professional integrity, ethics, and values; a commitment to representing the long-term interests of security holders; experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company; experience and/or academic expertise in the Company’s industry and with relevant social policy concerns; experience as a board member of another publicly held company; and practical and mature business judgment.

The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider prospective candidates nominated by security holders, in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws and its charter, if the name(s) and supporting information are submitted by certified or registered mail to: Corporate Secretary, TiVo Inc., 2160 Gold St., P.O. Box 2160, Alviso, CA 95002. Any stockholder who desires to recommend a candidate for nomination to the Board who would be considered for election at the Company’s 2005 Annual Meeting is strongly encouraged to do so no later than the date stockholder proposals meeting the requirements of SEC Rule 14a-8 are due. See “Stockholder Proposals for 2005 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting.”

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Directors who are also executive officers do not receive any additional compensation for serving as members of the Board or any other committee of the Board. Each non-employee director of TiVo is eligible for reimbursement for his expenses incurred in connection with attendance at Board meetings in accordance with our policy.

Additionally, non-employee directors are compensated as follows:

Each non-employee director receives stock option grants under the 1999 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan. Only non-employee directors or an affiliate of such directors (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) are eligible to receive options under the Directors’ Plan. Options granted under the Directors’ Plan are intended by us not to qualify as incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code. In March 2004, we amended the Directors’ Plan to increase the number of shares granted to each non-employee director as described below.

Option grants under the Directors’ Plan are non-discretionary. Under the Directors’ Plan, non-employee directors are granted a nonstatutory option to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock on the date on which such person was first elected or appointed a director. In March 2004, this amount was increased to 50,000. These initial option grants under the Directors’ Plan vest over a two-year period at a rate of 1/24th per month. In addition, on the day after each of our annual meetings of stockholders, prior to the annual meeting in 2004, each non-employee director automatically received an option for 10,000 shares if the director had been a non-employee director for at least the prior eighteen months. Starting on the day after our 2004 Annual Meeting, this amount is increased to 25,000. These options are fully vested upon grant. The exercise price of options under the Directors’ Plan will be equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.

The option term is 10 years but it terminates three months after the optionholder’s service as a director, an employee or a consultant to TiVo or its affiliates terminates. If such termination is due to the optionholder’s disability, the exercise period is extended to 12 months. If such termination is due to the optionholder’s death or if the optionholder dies within three months after his or her service terminates, the exercise period is extended to 18 months following death. The optionholder may transfer the option by gift to immediate family or for estate-planning purposes. The optionholder also may designate a beneficiary to exercise the option following the optionholder’s death. Otherwise, the option exercise rights will pass by the optionholder’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Transactions not involving receipt of consideration by TiVo, such as a merger, consolidation,

-9-

reorganization, stock dividend or stock split, may change the class and number of shares subject to the Directors’ Plan and to outstanding options. In that event, the Board will appropriately adjust the Directors’ Plan as to the class and the maximum number of shares subject to the Directors’ Plan and subject to future option grants. It also will adjust outstanding options as to the class, number of shares and price per share subject to such options. Upon a change in control of TiVo, the vesting and exercisability of outstanding options will accelerate, and the options will terminate unless an acquiring corporation assumes or replaces outstanding options.

During fiscal 2004, TiVo granted options to purchase 60,000 shares to five non-employee directors of TiVo, at an exercise prices per share of $8.57; options to purchase 40,000 shares to two non-employee director of TiVo, at an exercise prices per share of $7.58 and options to purchase 20,000 shares to one non-employee director of TiVo, at an exercise price per share of $7.40. As of January 31, 2004, options to purchase 21,667 options had been exercised under the 1999 Non-Employee Directors’ Plan.

The Board approved a Directors’ Compensation Program during its November 2002 Board Meeting. This compensation program was established in recognition of the increased demands placed upon independent directors. In addition to the option grants mentioned above, directors received annual cash compensation for service on the Board as well as committees. Starting with meetings subsequent to the November 2002 meeting, independent directors were paid a retainer of $15,000 per year, committee chairs each received an additional $2,000 for each committee meeting attended and committee members each received an additional $1,000 for each committee meeting attended.

Audit Fees. This category includes the audit of TiVo’s annual financial statements, review of financial statements included in TiVo’s Form 10-Q Quarterly Reports and services that are normally provided by the independent auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. This category also includes advice on audit and accounting matters that arose during, or as a result of, the audit or the review of interim financial statements. Included in the total audit fees in the table above is $80,000 and $33,000 for services related to SEC registration statements and consents for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Additionally, KPMG billed TiVo $160,000 during fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 for professional services rendered in connection with a re-audit of TiVo’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the Company’s independent auditors. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax, and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year, and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specified budget. The independent auditors and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis. During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2004 and 2003, all services provided by KPMG LLP were pre-approved by the Audit Committee which concluded that the provisioning of these non-audit services by KPMG LLP is compatible with maintaining the auditor’s independence.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee has selected KPMG LLP as our independent public auditors for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2005 and has further directed that management submit the selection of independent public auditors for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. KPMG LLP has audited our financial statements since the Company’s fiscal year ended January 31, 2002. Representatives of KPMG LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Stockholder ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent public auditors is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise. However, the Board is submitting the selection of KPMG LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee and the Board will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee and the Board in their discretion may direct the appointment of different independent public auditors at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of TiVo and its stockholders.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on PROPOSAL 2 at the Annual Meeting will be required to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent public auditors.

STOCK OPTION GRANTS AND EXERCISES

TiVo grants stock options to its executive officers under its 1997 Equity Incentive Plan and 1999 Equity Incentive Plan. As of January 31, 2004, options to purchase a total of 12,923,370 shares were outstanding under the 1997 and 1999 Equity Incentive Plans, and 11,820,861 shares were available for future option grants under these plans. The following tables show, for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004, certain information regarding options granted to, exercised by, and held at year-end by, the executive officers listed on the “Summary of Executive Compensation” table above. The exercise price of each option granted was equal to the fair market value of TiVo’s common stock as quoted on the NASDAQ for the date of grant. The exercise price may be paid in cash or in shares of TiVo’s common stock valued at fair value on the exercise date.

The potential realizable value is calculated based on the ten-year term of the option at the time of grant. Stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% is assumed pursuant to rules promulgated by the SEC and does not represent our prediction of our stock price performance. The potential realizable values at 5% or 10% appreciation are calculated by:

•

multiplying the number of shares of common stock subject to a given option by the exercise price per share;

•

assuming that the aggregate stock value derived from that calculation compounds at the annual 5% or 10% rate shown in the table until the expiration of the options; and

•

subtracting from that result the aggregate option exercise price.

The shares listed in the following table under “Number of Securities Underlying Options/SARs Granted” are subject to vesting.

The following table sets forth the number and value of securities underlying unexercised options that are held by the executive officers listed on the “Summary of Executive Compensation” table above. Amounts shown under the column “Value Realized” include the proceeds received from the options exercised, which is calculated by multiplying the deemed fair value per share on the date of exercise less the option exercise price per share times the number of shares exercised. Amounts shown under the column “Value of Unexercised In-the-Money Options/SARs at January 31, 2004” are based on the closing price of TiVo’s common stock, $10.75, on January 31, 2004, as reported on the NASDAQ National Market, without taking into account any taxes that may be payable in connection with the transaction, multiplied by the number of shares underlying the option, less the exercise price payable for these shares. TiVo’s stock option plans allow for the early exercise of options granted to employees prior to August 8, 2001. For options granted subsequent to August 8, 2001, options are exercisable as vested. All options exercised early are subject to repurchase by TiVo at the original exercise price, upon the option holder’s cessation of employment or service to the company prior to the vesting of the shares.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS, EMPLOYMENT SEVERANCE AND CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENTS

Change of Control Severance Agreements. All of our executive officers, except for Ta-Wei Chien, and substantially all of our vice presidents have executed a change of control severance agreement with us. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, in the event that, within thirteen months following a “change of control,” as described below, an executive officer or a vice president is terminated other than for “cause” or due to a “disability,” each as defined in the agreements, or the executive officer or vice president terminates his or her employment for “good reason,” as defined in the agreements, the executive officer or vice president will be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to a percentage of his or her annual base salary and targeted annual bonus of which such percentage is 100% for the Chief Executive Officer, 75% for the Executive and Senior Vice Presidents, and 50% for the Vice Presidents. In addition, the same percentage (as specified above) of options held by the terminated executive officer or vice president will become vested and any restrictions on that specified percentage of shares granted to the executive officer or vice president will immediately lapse. We have also agreed to provide the following benefits to any terminated executive officer or vice president:

•

continued directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for a period of six years not to exceed one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the per annum rate of premium currently paid by us for the insurance; and

•

medical benefits for a period not to exceed 6 months for Vice Presidents, 9 months for Executive and Senior Vice Presidents, and 12 months for the Chief Executive Officer from the date of termination.

These agreements do not obligate our executive officers or vice presidents to mitigate losses by seeking other employment or otherwise, and the benefits under these agreements will not be reduced by compensation earned through employment by another employer. These agreements have one-year terms that automatically renew each January 1 unless we notify the executive officers or vice presidents by no later than December 15 of the preceding year.

A “change of control” under these agreements will be deemed to have occurred in the event of:

(i)

a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets;

(ii)

a sale by the holders of our voting stock to another corporation and/or its subsidiaries that results in the ownership by such corporation and/or its subsidiaries of eighty percent (80%) or more of the combined voting power of all classes of our voting stock entitled to vote; provided, however, that if such corporation and/or its subsidiaries acquires less than eighty percent (80%) of the combined voting power of all classes of our voting stock entitled to vote shall nonetheless constitute a change of control if it results in such corporation having the right to appoint a majority of the members of the Board;

(iii)

a merger or consolidation in which we are not the surviving corporation; or

(iv)

a reverse merger in which we are the surviving corporation but the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise.

Additionally, our 1997 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan and our 1999 Equity Incentive Plan provide for vesting of options upon a “change of control,” as defined in the plans, in the event that during the first thirteen months following the change of control, the option holder’s employment is terminated by the company other than for cause or the employee terminates his or her employment due to a constructive termination. If the change of control provisions are triggered, all employees would be entitled to acceleration of twenty-five percent (25%) of their unvested options, while vice presidents and higher would be entitled to acceleration of fifty (50%) of their unvested options.

Offer from TiVo Inc. to Martin J. Yudkovitz. On April 28, 2003, we offered Mr. Yudkovitz employment in the position of President, which offer Mr. Yudkovitz accepted. We agreed to pay Mr. Yudkovitz $330,000 per year,

-20-

a sign-on bonus of $150,000 payable over two years, the second of which can be paid at our option in fully vested common stock, and a target bonus of 50% to 100% of his base salary paid annually. Mr. Yudkovitz is eligible to participate in the Company’s employee benefit plans. We also agreed to establish a milestone-based incentive plan for Mr. Yudkovitz, that will pay him a bonus of up to $75,000 per year for his first two full years of employment. In addition, we agreed to make the following stock option grants to Mr. Yudkovitz, which were approved by our board:

•

an option to purchase 350,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $5.41, which vests on the following schedule: 25% of the shares subject to the option will vest on the first anniversary of the date of hire and the remaining shares will vest in equal monthly installments over the subsequent three years.

•

options to purchase 50,000 shares and 150,000 shares of our common stock each with an exercise price of $5.41, each of which will vest upon the attainment of company-specified goals but not later than the fifth anniversary of the date of hire.

Additionally, we also committed to award a stock option renewal grant of at least 100,000 shares to Mr. Yudkovitz during his third year of employment. We also offered Mr. Yudkovitz a relocation package not to exceed $400,000, an executive life insurance policy with a face value of $5.0 million, short and long term disability coverage and an expense allowance for his first 12 months of employment not to exceed $50,000.

In the event Mr. Yudkovitz’s employment with us is involuntarily terminated without cause, and the termination does not trigger severance payments under his change of control severance agreement, we agreed to pay Mr. Yudkovitz a severance package consisting of continued payment of 100% of his then-current base salary over a twelve-month period, a lump sum payment equal to 100% of his most recently established annual bonus target, a lump-sum payment equal to any unpaid portion of his sign-on bonus, continued health insurance benefits for a twelve-month period, and automatic vesting of options that would have vested within twelve months.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Directors and Executive Officers.

TiVo has entered into indemnity agreements with substantially all of its directors and executive officers that provide, among other things, that TiVo will indemnify these persons, under circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, for expenses, damages, judgments, fines and settlements he or she may be required to pay in actions or proceedings to which he or she is or may be a party by reason of his or her position as a director, and otherwise to the full extent permitted under Delaware law and TiVo’s Bylaws.

DIRECTV.

On February 15, 2002, the Company entered into a new product development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) and a new services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with DIRECTV, Inc., with whom it jointly introduced the first DIRECTV receiver with the Company’s digital video recording technology in October of 2000. The Development Agreement provides for the development of the next generation DIRECTV-TiVo combination receiver to be known as the “Provo receiver” and for software upgrades to the existing combination receivers, known as “Reno receivers,” to enable customers to receive the upgraded DVR functionality.

Under the terms of the Development Agreement, DIRECTV has agreed to pay TiVo a technology development fee to develop a next-generation DIRECTV receiver based on the Company’s Series2 digital video recording technology platform.

Under this agreement, DIRECTV will assume primary responsibility for customer acquisition and support for all next-generation DIRECTV receivers, as well as packaging and branding of DIRECTV’s digital video recording services. The revenue share provision on the Reno receivers was discontinued and replaced by a per-account monthly fee that DIRECTV would pay to TiVo. Therefore, under this new agreement, the relationship with the consumer was changed so that DIRECTV provides primary customer service and support to DIRECTV subscribers with TiVo Service. Additionally, DIRECTV is obligated to absorb all customer acquisition costs. The Company provides server support and limited customer support. The per-account monthly fees paid by DIRECTV

-21-

for the Company to provide server support and limited customer support are recognized as service revenues as the services are provided.

The term of the Development Agreement is five years and includes a minimum volume commitment from DIRECTV to deploy next-generation DIRECTV receivers with the Company’s digital video recording technology. Under the terms of the agreement, DIRECTV has the option to fulfill its obligations under the minimum volume commitment with a one-time cash payment to the Company. Under the agreement, DIRECTV additionally has the option to purchase a non-exclusive license of the Company’s digital video recording technology. In connection with its exercise of this option, DIRECTV would be required to pay TiVo an up-front fee, per-unit royalties and other fees. The technology license that DIRECTV has the election of exercising is similar in price and structure to other client and server technology source licenses sold to one customer and offered to other customers.

On October 31, 2002, the Company entered into the First Consolidated Amendment to the Development Agreement dated February 15, 2002 with DIRECTV, Inc. The amendment revised provisions related to, among other things, the manufacturing release date of the Two-Chip option. On December 20, 2002, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Development Agreement dated February 15, 2002 with DIRECTV, Inc. The amendment revises provisions relating to, among other things, the specifications, development schedules, milestone payment schedule and transition services for the development and manufacture of Series2 DIRECTV receivers and new versions of the associated client software. On January 8, 2003, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Development Agreement dated February 15, 2002 with DIRECTV, Inc. The amendment adds provisions relating to, among other things, the product requirements, the development schedule and the milestone payment schedule for the development of a TiVo-DIRECTV combination device capable of receiving and recording high-definition television signals and new versions of the associated client software. The amendment also revises provisions relating to, among other things, various obligations of the parties under the Development Agreement. On April 17, 2003, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Development Agreement dated February 15, 2002 with DIRECTV, Inc. The amendment revises provisions relating to, among other things, hardware and software requirements and development schedules under the Development Agreement. The Company also entered into the Fourth and Fifth Amendments to Development Agreement dated as of April 17, 2003 and December 19, 2003, respectively, with DIRECTV. These amendments revise provisions relating to, among other things, hardware and software requirements and development schedules under the Development Agreement.

The Services Agreement provides DIRECTV the option to license certain authoring tools from TiVo that would allow DIRECTV to distribute automatic recording capabilities and delivery of promotional video to a receiver’s hard-disk drive. In exchange for the Company’s license to use the software tools that allow DIRECTV to distribute these services directly, DIRECTV has agreed to pay TiVo a fee. The license is granted to DIRECTV in exchange for the fee on an annual basis and is renewable up to four times. The term of the Services Agreement is three years.

The Company also signed an Amendment to Marketing Agreement and Tax Agreement with DIRECTV on February 15, 2002. The Amendment to Marketing Agreement and Tax Agreement amends the Marketing Agreement dated April 13, 1999 and the Tax Agreement dated July 24, 2001. The amendment provides that several terms of the Marketing Agreement, including those relating to, among other things, the billing system, customer service and customer data, be replaced by the terms set forth in the Development Agreement. In conjunction with the execution of the Development Agreement, the amendment also revises provisions relating to, among other things bandwidth allocation, promotional activities, the subscriber billing system and certain indemnification obligations set forth in the Marketing Agreement. Additionally, this amendment affirms that revenue share arrangements with DIRECTV for TiVo stand-alone receivers are permanent and do not change from revenue share arrangements previously in effect. The Amendment also modifies the Company’s indemnity obligations under the Tax Agreement, entered into with DIRECTV as of July 24, 2001, such that, following a specific milestone date set forth in the Development Agreement, DIRECTV will have responsibility for taxability determinations.

The Company entered into the Second Consolidated Amendment to Marketing Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2003 and Amendment No. 1 to the Services Agreement, dated as of October 3, 2003. These amendments revise provisions relating to, among other things, the amount, timing and duration of revenue share payments made by the Company to DIRECTV for each subscription from integrated DIRECTV satellite receivers with TiVo service.

-22-

Hughes Network Systems.

On August 31, 2000 the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement with Hughes Network Systems for the manufacture and distribution of digital video recorders that enable the TiVo Service. Subject to certain limitations, the agreement grants Hughes the right to manufacture and sell digital video recorders that enable the TiVo Service in the United States. Hughes was also granted the right to manufacture and sell digital video recorders in the United States that incorporate both DIRECTV’s satellite receiver and the TiVo Service. The Company also granted Hughes a license to TiVo technology for the purpose manufacturing digital video recorders and other devices that enable the TiVo Service.

AOL.

On April 30, 2002, the Company entered into a Development and Distribution Agreement with America Online, Inc. (“AOL”). This new agreement superseded, replaced and terminated the Product Integration and Marketing Agreement, dated June 9, 2000. Under the terms of the new agreement, AOL agreed to pay TiVo a technology development fee to develop an application that works in conjunction with the AOL service and the Company’s Series2 digital video recording technology platform. Under the agreement, AOL additionally had the option to purchase a non-exclusive license of the Company’s digital video recording technology. In connection with its exercise of this option, AOL would be required to pay TiVo an up-front fee, per-unit royalties and other fees. Under the agreement, AOL agreed to fund certain research and development at TiVo. AOL may also choose to have the Company develop the AOL service as a premium application on the Company’s Series2 platform, in which case the Company will receive additional development funds, revenue share from subscriptions of the AOL service on the TiVo platform and reimbursement from AOL for certain operating costs related to the AOL application. The term of the Development and Distribution Agreement is four years. During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company recognized $2.7 million and $1.3 million in revenues—related parties for engineering professional services. The Company developed a web scheduling service for AOL that would require a DVR and the TiVo Service. The future premium service described is AOLTV running on a TiVo-enabled DVR. AOL has publicly announced that it has shut down AOLTV so there will be no further development under this agreement.

TiVo believes that each of the foregoing transactions was in its and its stockholders’ best interests. As a matter of policy, the transactions were, and all future transactions between TiVo and any of its officers, directors or principal stockholders, will be approved by the Audit Committee or a majority of the independent and disinterested members of the Board, will be on terms no less favorable to TiVo than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties and will be in connection with bona fide business purposes.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The information contained in this section shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or “filed” with the SEC or subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate it by reference into a document under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is currently composed of Messrs. Rogers, Uva, and Yang, none of whom are currently officers or employees of TiVo. Prior to Messrs. Rogers’s and Uva’s joining the Committee in March of 2004, Mr. Komisar was a member and Chair of the Committee for fiscal 2004 through March of 2004. The Committee is responsible for establishing TiVo’s compensation programs for its directors and executive officers and for administering our stock option incentive plans. For executive officers, the Committee evaluates performance and determines compensation policies and levels.

Compensation Philosophy

The goals of the compensation program are to align compensation with achievement of business objectives and performance and to enable TiVo to attract, retain and reward executive officers and other key employees who contribute to the long-term success of TiVo and to motivate them to enhance long-term stockholder value. In all instances the Committee emphasizes the principle of rewarding performance. Key elements of this philosophy are:

•

TiVo pays competitively by reviewing executive compensation information derived from a survey of U.S.-based companies whose revenue levels and industry are generally considered to be comparable to

-23-

TiVo. Although the Committee does not use a specific formula to set pay in relation to this market data, it generally sets executive officer annual base salary and annual incentives above the average salaries for comparable jobs in the marketplace.

•

TiVo maintains annual incentive opportunities sufficient to provide motivation to achieve specific operating goals and to generate rewards that bring total compensation to competitive levels.

•

TiVo provides significant equity-based incentives for executives and other key employees to ensure that they are motivated over the long term to respond to its business challenges and opportunities as owners and not just as employees.

Components of Compensation

Base Salary. The Committee annually reviews each executive officer’s base salary. When reviewing base salaries, the Committee considers individual and corporate performance, levels of responsibility, prior experience, breadth of knowledge and competitive pay practices.

Annual Incentives. The annual Executive Bonus Plan is based on strategic, operational and functional performance. The actual incentive award earned depends on the extent to which corporate and individual performance objectives are achieved. At the start of each year, the Committee and the full Board review and approve the annual performance objectives for TiVo and individual officers. TiVo’s objectives consist of operating, strategic and financial goals that are considered to be critical to its fundamental long-term goal of building stockholder value. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004, these goals included the achievement of subscription growth and revenue targets, the attainment of operating profit and cash flow objectives, and the production of a low cost DVR platform.

After the end of the fiscal year, the Committee evaluates the degree to which TiVo has met its goals and evaluates the leadership team’s performance against the objectives. Bonuses are awarded based on the team’s performance during the year. Awards are paid in cash and distributions are made in March following the performance year.

Long-Term Incentives. TiVo’s long-term incentive program consists of the 1997 and 1999 Equity Incentive Plans. The incentive stock option program utilizes vesting periods (generally four years) to encourage key employees to continue in its employ. Through option grants, executives receive significant equity incentives to build long-term stockholder value. Grants are made at 100% of fair market value on the date of grant. Employees receive value from these grants only if the common stock appreciates over the long-term. The size of option grants is determined based on practices at leading companies in the technology industry and TiVo’s philosophy of significantly linking executive compensation with stockholder interests. The Committee believes this approach creates an appropriate focus on longer term objectives and promotes executive retention.

Other Compensation. TiVo’s executive officers are also eligible to participate in compensation and benefit programs generally available to other employees, including TiVo’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In addition, from time to time, executive officers have received sign-on bonuses or other bonuses based on extraordinary effort.

Corporate Performance and Chief Executive Officer Compensation

Mr. Ramsay’s base salary at the end of fiscal 2004 as Chief Executive Officer was $350,000. The Committee set Mr. Ramsay’s base annual salary through fiscal year ending January 31, 2005 at $380,000. This amount, in addition to annual incentives was estimated to provide an annual cash compensation level at the average as compared to the above mentioned selected group of comparable companies. In setting this amount, the Committee took into account (i) its belief that Mr. Ramsay is a Chief Executive Officer of a leading technology company who has significant and broad-based experience in the personal television industry, (ii) the scope of Mr. Ramsay’s responsibility, and (iii) the Board’s confidence in Mr. Ramsay to lead TiVo’s continued development. Considering these factors, Mr. Ramsay was granted an option in May 2004 to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock as an incentive for future performance, an amount the Committee determined was consistent with competitive practices. This award was split into two components for vesting purposes. The first 150,000 share component will vest monthly over a four-year period, beginning on the date of grant. The second 150,000 share component will vest on a ‘back end loaded’ basis with the first 20% vesting on the second anniversary of the grant, an additional 30% vesting on the third anniversary of the grant, and the final 50% vesting on the fourth anniversary of the grant.

-24-

During fiscal 2004, TiVo achieved all of its corporate objectives. Mr. Ramsay’s compensation reflected his success in guiding TiVo’s achievement of its goals determined at the beginning of fiscal 2004, which included, achieving certain subscription growth and revenue targets and successful progress towards a low cost, mass market platform.

Policy on Deductibility of Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the tax deductibility by a corporation of compensation in excess of $1 million paid to its chief executive officer and any other of its four most highly compensated executive officers. However, compensation which qualifies as “performance-based” is excluded from the $1 million limit if, among other requirements, the compensation is payable only upon attainment of pre-established, objective performance goals under a plan approved by the corporation’s stockholders.

The Compensation Committee does not presently expect total cash compensation payable for salaries to exceed the $1 million limit for any individual executive officer of TiVo. After consideration of the requirements of Section 162(m), the Compensation Committee believes that stock option grants to date meet the requirement that such grants be “performance-based” and are, therefore, exempt from the limitations on deductibility. The Compensation Committee will continue to monitor the compensation levels potentially payable under TiVo’s cash compensation programs, but intends to retain the flexibility necessary to provide total cash compensation in line with competitive practice, TiVo’s compensation philosophy and TiVo’s best interests.

Conclusion

Through the plans described above, a significant portion of TiVo’s compensation program and Mr. Ramsay’s compensation are contingent on TiVo’s performance, and realization of benefits is closely linked to increases in long-term stockholder value. TiVo remains committed to this philosophy of pay for performance, recognizing that the competitive market for talented executives and the volatility of TiVo’s business may result in highly variable compensation for a particular time period.

The information contained in this section shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or “filed” with the SEC or subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate it by reference into a document under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act.

The following graph shows a comparison of cumulative total stockholder returns for our common stock, the NASDAQ Stock Market Index for U.S. Companies, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, and the RDG Technology Composite Index. TiVo has selected the RDG Technology Composite Index to replace the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index because TiVo has determined that the RDG Technology Composite Index provides a more useful index for stock performance comparison purposes. TiVo will no longer use the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index after this transition year. The graph assumes the investment of $100 on September 30, 1999, the date of TiVo’s initial public offering. The data regarding TiVo assumes an investment at the initial public offering price of $16.00 per share of TiVo’s Common Stock. All values assume reinvestment of the full amount of all dividends and are calculated as of January 31, 2004. The performance shown is not necessarily indicative of future performance.

OTHER INFORMATION

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange requires TiVo’s directors and executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of TiVo ‘s equity securities (collectively, “Reporting Persons”) to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of TiVo. Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish TiVo with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

To TiVo’s knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to TiVo and written representations from certain Reporting Persons that no other reports were required, TiVo believes that during fiscal 2004 all Reporting Persons complied with all applicable filing requirements.

RELATIONSHIP WITH INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The firm of independent public accountants appointed by the Board upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2005 is KPMG LLP. The Audit Committee reviews and pre-approves audit and permissible non-audit services performed by KPMG LLP, as well as the fees paid to KPMG LLP

-26-

for such services. Before recommending KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for fiscal 2005, the Audit Committee carefully considered the firm’s qualifications as independent auditors for TiVo.

The Board expects that the representatives of KPMG LLP will be present at the meeting, will be given an opportunity to make a statement at such meeting if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2005 ANNUAL STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETING

The deadline for submitting a stockholder proposal for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy for TiVo’s 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act is February 25, 2005. Stockholders wishing to submit proposals or director nominations that are not to be included in such proxy statement and proxy must give timely notice thereof in writing to our Corporate Secretary. To be timely, a stockholder’s proposal or nomination must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Company no later than the close of business on May 6, 2005 nor earlier than the close of business on April 7, 2005, and must otherwise satisfy the requirements of TiVo’s Bylaws. If the date of the 2005 Annual Meeting changes by more than thirty (30) days from the date of the 2004 Annual Meeting, a stockholder’s proposal or nomination must be delivered to or mailed and received at our principal executive offices no later than ten (10) calendar days following the first public announcement of the revised date of the 2005 Annual Meeting. A

-27-

stockholder’s notice to the Corporate Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the 2005 Annual Meeting:

•

a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the 2005 Annual Meeting and the reasons for conducting the business at the 2005 Annual Meeting;

•

the name and address, as they appear on the corporation’s books, of the stockholder proposing the business;

•

the class and number of shares of TiVo stock which are beneficially owned by the stockholder;

•

any material interest of the stockholder in the business; and

•

any other information that is required to be provided by the stockholder pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act in his capacity as a proponent to a stockholder proposal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to include information with respect to a stockholder proposal in the proxy statement and form of proxy for a stockholders’ meeting, stockholders must provide notice as required by the regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding anything in TiVo’s Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in TiVo’s Bylaws.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as banks and brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are our stockholders will be householding our proxy materials. A single proxy statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, please notify your broker, direct your written request to Investor Relations, TiVo Inc., 2160 Gold Street, P.O. Box 2160, Alviso, CA 95002, or contact Investor Relations by telephone at (408) 519-9345. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their address and would like to request householding of their communications should contact their broker.

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the 2004 Annual Meeting.

While acting within the scope of the powers and responsibilities delegated to it, the Committee shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Committee shall have the power to determine which matters are within the scope of the powers and responsibilities delegated to it.

A. Timing. The Committee shall meet at least once during each fiscal quarter and more frequently as the Committee deems desirable.

B. Procedures and Notice. The Chair (or in his or her absence, a member designated by the Chair) shall preside at each meeting of the Committee and set the agendas for Committee meetings. The Committee shall have the authority to establish its own rules and procedures for notice and conduct of its meetings so long as they are not inconsistent with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and applicable law.

C. Participation. Any director who is not a member of the Committee may attend and observe meetings of the Committee, but shall not participate in any discussion or deliberation unless invited to do so by the Committee, and in any event shall not be entitled to vote. The Committee may, at its discretion, include in its meetings members of the Company’s management, representatives of the independent auditor, the internal auditor, any other financial personnel employed or retained by the Company or any other persons whose presence the Committee believes to be necessary or appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may also exclude from its meetings any persons it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, any non-management director that is not a member of the Committee.

D. Minutes. The Committee shall keep minutes of each meeting.

IV.

Authority.

Any action duly and validly taken by the Committee pursuant to the power and authority conferred under this Charter shall for all purposes constitute an action duly and validly taken by the Board of Directors and may be certified as such by the Corporate Secretary or other authorized officer of the Company.

LIMITATION OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE’S ROLE

The Audit Committee’s role is one of oversight. Management is responsible for preparing the Company’s financial statements, and independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. Management is responsible for the fair presentation of the information set forth in the financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditors’ responsibility is to provide their opinion, based on their audits, that the financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company in conformity with GAAP. While the Audit Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this Charter, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and are in conformity with GAAP. Further, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to assure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, or the Company’s Code of Conduct.

Further, auditing literature, particularly Statement of Accounting Standards No. 71, defines the term “review” to include a particular set of required procedures to be undertaken by independent auditors. The members of the Committee are not independent auditors, and the term “review” as used in this Charter is not intended to have that meaning and should not be interpreted to suggest that the Committee members can or should follow the procedures required of auditors performing reviews of financial statements.
