We are a leading provider of technology and services for digital video recorders, or DVRs, a rapidly growing consumer electronics category. Our subscription-based TiVo service improves home entertainment by providing consumers with an easy way to record, watch, and control television. The TiVo service also offers the television industry a platform for advertising, content delivery, and audience research. The TiVo service requires a TiVo-enabled DVR that is available for as low as $99. Many currently available TiVo-enabled DVRs are broadband-enabled and offer customers the ability to enjoy home entertainment services such as digital music and photos. As of January 31, 2004, there were over 1.3 million subscriptions to the TiVo service.

We currently derive revenues from three sources:

We continue to be subject to a number of risks, including the uncertainty of market acceptance of the TiVo service and future profitability; competition; the dependence on third parties for manufacturing, marketing, and sales support; the intellectual property claims against us; and our highly dependent relationship with DIRECTV. We conduct our operations through one reportable segment. We anticipate that our business will continue to be seasonal and we expect to generate a significant number of our annual new subscriptions during and immediately after the holiday shopping season. To date, we have incurred significant losses and have had substantial negative cash flow. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004, we had net losses of ($32.0) million. As of January 31, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of ($577.3) million.

Industry Background

Subscription-Based Television Programming is Growing. According to the market research firm Nielsen Media Research, 108 million U.S. households owned at least one television at the beginning of 2004. As the reach and popularity of television has grown, so too has the amount of programming available to consumers. Multi-channel programming services can provide hundreds of channels of video content. Multi-channel programming continues to proliferate as service providers roll out more local programming options and deliver a host of new, niche-oriented channels.

DVR Services Significantly Enhance Television Viewing. In this new content-rich environment, DVRs offer a compelling value proposition to consumers by providing the means to effectively sort through, select from, and organize the growing volume of broadcast video content. According to IDC, there were an estimated 3.2 million U.S. households that owned DVRs at the end of 2003. IDC projects that worldwide unit shipments of DVR-enabled set-top boxes will climb to more than 28 million in 2008.

Our Solution

We have created a unique television-based entertainment service that supports virtually any analog cable, digital cable, satellite, or over-the-air programming source. The TiVo service, combined with a TiVo-enabled DVR, has many features that dramatically improve a consumer’s television viewing experience, including:

Advanced Software and Services that Automatically Find and Record Programs. The TiVo service can automatically record a consumer’s favorite shows, all season long, even if the schedule changes. It can skip reruns if desired. It includes a rich program guide that allows consumers to browse quickly and efficiently through a schedule of up to two weeks of available television programming. The TiVo service allows consumers to search for shows to record by subject, title, genre, actor, director, channel, or time of showing. Consumers can record and subsequently watch a single show, prioritize and record a customized line-up, or automatically record all episodes of a favorite

show. Unlike with a VCR, consumers accomplish this without entering specialized codes, setting a timer, or using a videotape. Currently available TiVo-enabled DVRs can store up to 140 hours of television programming, significantly more than the eight-hour capacity of most VCRs.

Pause, Rewind, and Fast-forward Functionality . Using a TiVo-enabled DVR, consumers can pause, rewind, and fast-forward live television. Unlike with a VCR, consumers can playback a show from its beginning while it is in the middle of being recorded, and consumers can play back a previously recorded show while recording another show. TiVo-enabled DVRs constantly record a buffer of up to 30 minutes of programming, so consumers who turn on the TV in the middle of an interesting program can often replay it from the beginning.

Personalization and Suggestions . The TiVo service allows consumers to create preferences for recording of particular shows or categories of interest. Using the “Thumbs Up” ^™ and “Thumbs Down” ^™ buttons on the TiVo remote control, consumers can express their preferences for shows. Based on the consumer’s stored individual preferences, the TiVo service recommends programming that the consumer is likely to enjoy. When storage space is available, the TiVo service automatically records the suggested programming.

Specialized Content and Innovative Advertising . We distribute video content designed to entertain consumers while providing a promotional vehicle for our advertising and promotion customers. For example, movie studios pay us to deliver previews of upcoming films, consumer product companies pay us to market their products, and television networks pay us to promote upcoming programs. In the future, content providers could use the TiVo service to offer consumers special programming and pay-per-view packages such as movies, sporting events, and television shows.

Our Strategy

Our goal is to generate significant recurring revenues through the deployment of our technology to television households worldwide. The key elements of our strategy are:

Offer an Increasingly Valuable Service to Attract New Subscribers. Our goal is to lead the market with innovations that expand the value and potential of TiVo’s subscription services. We plan to continue to make TiVo an increasingly compelling home entertainment service for both current and potential customers. For example, in April 2003, we launched a package of networked features that allow consumers to enjoy video and photos on their televisions and music through their home stereos. We intend to deliver a new service release during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2005, called “TiVoToGo” ^™ . This feature will enable users to move their favorite programs stored on a TiVo-enabled DVR to a laptop for viewing on the road, or to any PC.

Increase Average Revenue Per User by Selling Advertising and Audience Measurement Services. As our subscription base has grown, we have been able to offer robust advertising and audience measurement capabilities to programmers and advertisers. We plan to continue developing and enhancing these offerings, which take advantage of the unique capabilities of the TiVo service. For example, we have recently completed promotional and audience measurement work for Universal Pictures, General Motors, American Honda Motor Corp., Nissan Motor Corp. and the Coca Cola Company. In February 2004, we announced that we had signed an agreement with Nielsen Media Research to deliver information on DVR usage to the television industry.

Build a High Volume Subscriber Acquisition Channel Through Arrangements with Service Providers. We are pursuing relationships with satellite and cable operators to embed the TiVo service into their offerings. Our relationship with DIRECTV is the first of these arrangements. We believe this strategy will be successful because of the unique abilities of TiVo’s technology and services to reduce subscriber churn, increase revenue from TiVo-enabled DVR services, increase buy rates for programming packages and pay-per-view content, and attract new subscribers.

Integrate Our Technology to Accelerate Platform Deployment. Our strategy focuses on creating, developing, and deploying DVR standards in order to promote mass deployment of devices capable of running the TiVo service. We work with leading consumer electronics manufacturers to introduce products that incorporate our technology, including DVD players and recorders, satellite television receivers, and standalone DVRs. Consumers will be able to choose from over a dozen TiVo-enabled products from industry leaders including Pioneer, Toshiba, DIRECTV, Hughes, Humax, Philips, RCA, and Samsung this year.

Drive Down the Manufacturing Cost of a TiVo-Enabled DVR. We believe that the high cost of DVR hardware has been an obstacle to mass adoption. As a result, we have made cost reduction a major focus of our engineering and development efforts. We believe these efforts will lead to a reduction in the average retail price of DVRs for consumers and serve as an important catalyst for subscription growth.

Extend and Protect Our Intellectual Property. The value of the TiVo service is derived largely from the technology we have developed. Our intellectual property has allowed us to become a leading service provider in the category and is the fundamental reason that many of our customers and consumer electronics manufacturers choose us. We intend to continue to design, develop, and implement innovative technology solutions that leverage and enhance the TiVo service offering. We have adopted a proactive patent and trademark strategy designed to protect and extend our technology and intellectual property.

Promote and Leverage the TiVo Brand. We believe the strength of the TiVo brand is an advantage in attracting subscribers, consumer electronics manufacturers, advertisers, and other customers. In the past, we have dedicated substantial resources to promoting our brand through multiple advertising and marketing channels, participation in trade shows, sponsoring events, merchandising, and by leveraging strategic relationships. We believe the TiVo brand is strongly established within the DVR category.

Invest in Subscription Growth . For the fiscal year ending January 31, 2005, we plan to increase significantly our investment in subscription acquisition activities with a focus on growing TiVo Service subscriptions. We anticipate the majority of this investment will be in connection with the 2004 holiday shopping season. We believe this investment can create incremental revenue, profits, and cash flow and put us on a long-term growth trajectory towards creating sustainable profitability.

Our Technology

The TiVo service relies on three key components: the TiVo client software platform, the TiVo service infrastructure, and the TiVo-enabled DVR hardware design. Each of these components serves a vital function in the TiVo service.

TiVo Client Software. The TiVo client software runs on TiVo-enabled DVRs. It consists of all operational software required for a TiVo-enabled DVR to deliver the TiVo service properly and reliably. TiVo client software is based on the open-source Linux operating system, but the bulk of the software is proprietary to TiVo. The software includes system components such as a media-oriented file system, a high-performance transactional database, an integrated security system, and application components such as media management, and user interface. We have enhanced the client software to support multiple services and applications, such as digital music and photos. The TiVo client software manages interaction with the TiVo service infrastructure. After the initial set-up of the TiVo service, the TiVo-enabled DVR will automatically connect to the TiVo service infrastructure over a dial-up or broadband connection to download the program guide data, client software upgrades, Showcases, and other content.

TiVo Service Infrastructure . The TiVo service infrastructure enables the ongoing operation of the TiVo service, managing the distribution of proprietary services and specialized content such as program guide data, Showcases, and TiVo client software upgrades. It interfaces with our billing and customer support systems for service authorization and bug tracking. In addition, the TiVo service infrastructure collects anonymous viewing behavior data uploaded from TiVo-enabled DVRs for use in our audience measurement efforts. We believe the TiVo service infrastructure technology is scalable, robust, and reliable. The infrastructure has also been designed to take advantage of the networks of service provider customers, for example, by utilizing DIRECTV’s satellite bandwidth to deliver data to DIRECTV receivers with TiVo service. The TiVo service infrastructure is extensible to support future initiatives such as e-commerce and lead generation, and authorization and billing for premium services.

DVR Hardware Design . The TiVo-enabled DVR hardware design is a specification developed by us for set-top boxes containing a hard disk drive, a CPU and memory, MPEG-2 digital video chips, a modem, and other components. We license this technology to consumer electronics manufacturers for them to modify and use in the production of DVRs that enable the TiVo service. We also provide the design to the contract manufacturer that produces TiVo-branded DVRs. The DVR hardware design has been integrated into a variety of products including DVD players, DVD recorders, DIRECTV receivers, and TiVo service DVRs. The DVR hardware design includes a modular front-end that allows the basic platform to be used for digital and analog broadcast, digital and analog cable, and satellite applications. In addition, the design includes USB ports to allow connection to broadband networks and external devices to enable future services.

Significant Relationships

DIRECTV . DIRECTV is the largest provider of satellite television in the U.S. We have had a longstanding relationship with DIRECTV in which DIRECTV assists us in marketing and delivering the TiVo service to its customer base. This relationship began in 1999 and was expanded in September of 2000 with the release of the first integrated DIRECTV DVR with TiVo. As of January 31, 2004, we had acquired approximately 676,000 subscriptions through this relationship. Currently, one of DIRECTV’s officers is a member of our Board of Directors.

Table of Contents

From 1999 thru October of 2002, we incurred upfront acquisition costs, recognized monthly recurring per subscriber revenues in a range from $4.15 to $9.95, and incurred recurring service costs for these subscribers. We agreed to pay DIRECTV a share of the revenues we collect from TiVo service subscriptions with standalone DVRs who subscribe to the DIRECTV service prior to June 30, 2003.

During 2002, we modified our agreements with the goal of giving DIRECTV the ability and economic incentive to drive volume growth. Under our new agreement, DIRECTV pays us a recurring monthly per-household fee for access to the technology needed to offer its customers the TiVo service. We incur limited recurring expenses and, on a marginal basis, limited or no acquisition costs for these subscriptions.

In January 2004, the average DIRECTV revenue per subscription, excluding advertising and audience research revenues, was approximately $1.62. We expect the average monthly subscription revenue per DIRECTV subscription to decline in the future as the mix of DIRECTV subscriptions shifts to the rapidly growing number of additions of new DIRECTV subscriptions, which involve no acquisition costs, lower recurring expenses, and lower subscription fees.

Our current agreement with DIRECTV does not expire until February 2007. Afterwards, while DIRECTV will have the option to continue to service the existing DIRECTV receivers with TiVo without further payment to us, it will not be able to add new DIRECTV receivers with TiVo unless DIRECTV elects to either purchase a royalty-bearing technology license from us or renew or replace our current agreement.

We also recognize revenue from DIRECTV for engineering professional services work on integrated DIRECTV satellite receivers with TiVo service and the related service infrastructure. We are currently providing DIRECTV with engineering professional services related to a new integrated DIRECTV satellite receiver with TiVo service that supports high definition television service, as well as engineering professional services related to hardware and service cost improvements and feature enhancements for existing platforms and customers.

Hardware Manufacturers. Several companies, including Toshiba, Pioneer, Sony, Philips, Thomson Multimedia, and Hughes, have manufactured and distributed TiVo-enabled DVRs. Each manufacturer is responsible for the manufacturing and distribution of its branded DVRs. We are solely responsible for the activation of the TiVo service on a manufacturer’s DVR if the purchaser of the DVR decides to purchase a subscription to the TiVo service. A TiVo-enabled DVR without a subscription to the TiVo service has minimal functionality and can be used to pause, rewind, and fast-forward through live or recorded shows.

We also engage a contract manufacturer to build TiVo-enabled DVRs. We distribute the TiVo-enabled DVRs, selling them both directly to consumers and to major retailers who offer these products to consumers. The table below shows the breakdown of DVRs compatible with the TiVo service that were manufactured during the fiscal years ended January 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002.

Sales and Marketing

The TiVo Service . We market the TiVo service in two ways. First, we sell directly to consumers who have purchased a TiVo-enabled DVR. We sell the TiVo service either for a monthly subscription rate of $12.95, or for a single payment of $299 for the lifetime of the DVR. Second, we market our service through our relationship with DIRECTV. DIRECTV pays us a per-household monthly fee for the ability to offer our service to their customers. DIRECTV makes all pricing decisions regarding the service it sells to its own customer base.

Table of Contents

Digital Video Recorders . To use the TiVo service, consumers first purchase a TiVo-enabled DVR and then activate the TiVo service. Currently, TiVo-enabled DVRs are available from major retailers across the United States, including Best Buy, Circuit City, Amazon.com, Tweeter, and The Good Guys. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004, approximately 80% of DVRs manufactured under contract to TiVo were sold to retail stores and approximately 20% were sold directly from our website.

We recognize revenues from the sale of TiVo-branded DVRs manufactured for us. To drive sales while managing costs, we have shared marketing expenses with key retailers, and in some cases, we have offered to share a portion of the subscription revenues.

Other Revenue Streams . We also receive revenues from promotions and audience research. We market these services both through a dedicated team of salespeople and through partnerships with companies like Nielsen Media Research.

Although our total company employee headcount increased by approximately 19%, we increased the number of our regular, temporary and part-time employees engaged in research and development by 33% from a total of 160 to 212 as of January 2004 compared to January 2003.

Competition

We believe that the principal competitive factors in the DVR market are brand recognition and awareness, functionality, ease of use, availability, and pricing. We currently see two primary categories of DVR competitors: DVRs offered by consumer electronics companies, and DVRs offered by cable and satellite operators.

Within each of these two categories, the competition can be further segmented into those offering what we define as basic DVR functionality, and those offering enhanced DVR functionality. Basic DVR functionality includes no or limited program guide data and “VCR-like” controls with manual timeslot-based recordings, usually with no DVR service fee after the consumer purchases the enabling hardware. The TiVo Basic service is an example of basic DVR functionality. Enhanced DVR functionality includes rich program guide data and enhanced scheduling and personalization features, and may or may not require a DVR service fee. The TiVo service is an example of enhanced DVR functionality.

Consumer Electronics Competitors . We compete against several types of products with basic or enhanced DVR functionality offered by consumer electronics companies. These products record an analog television signal output from a cable or satellite set-top box, analog cable feed, or antenna.

7

Table of Contents

Satellite and Cable DVR Competitors . The DIRECTV satellite receiver with TiVo service competes against other cable and satellite set-top boxes that integrate basic or enhanced DVR functionality into multi-channel receivers.

Licensing Fees. Our licensing revenues depend both upon our ability to successfully negotiate licensing agreements with our consumer electronics and service provider customers and, in turn, upon our customers’ successful commercialization of their underlying products. In addition, we face competition from companies such as Microsoft, OpenTV, NDS, D&M Holdings, Digeo, Ucentric, and Gotuit who have created competing digital video recording technologies. Such companies may offer more economically attractive licensing agreements to service providers and manufacturers of DVRs. Going forward, in our relationships with manufacturers and distributors, we are shifting focus from upfront license and engineering professional services payments to recurring royalty and service payments. We expect future technology revenues to decline from the fiscal years 2004 and 2003 levels as we complete existing contracts.

Established competition for advertising budgets. Digital video recorder services, in general, and TiVo, specifically, also compete with traditional advertising media such as print, radio, and television for a share of advertisers’ total advertising budgets. If advertisers do not perceive digital video recording services, in general, and TiVo specifically, as an effective advertising medium, they may be reluctant to devote a significant portion of their advertising budget to promotions on the TiVo service. In addition, advertisers may not support or embrace the TiVo technology due to a belief that our technology’s ability to fast-forward through commercials will reduce the effectiveness of general television advertising.

Patents and Intellectual Property

We have filed patent applications covering many critical aspects of the design, functionality, and operation of a TiVo digital video recorder. We have been awarded 61 foreign and domestic patents, have 60 foreign and domestic patent applications pending, and have one provisional patent application pending. We have also filed patent applications that cover technology we intend to incorporate in future versions of the TiVo service and hardware. Patents we hold the rights to include:

Table of Contents

Several of our early patent applications have been examined and claims allowed by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. In addition, certain of our patents have been examined and approved under the terms of the Patent Convention Treaty, which provides for nominal acceptance of the patent in countries that are signatories to the treaty, which includes most countries in the world. We are currently filing for acceptance in key countries around the world.

We have secured U.S. registrations for the marks “TiVo,” the TiVo Logo, TiVo Smile Design, “TiVo Central,” “Can’t Miss TV,” “Ipreview,” “TiVoMatic,” “TV Your Way,” “What you want, when you want it,” “TiVolution,” and the Jump Logo. We have filed many other trademark applications covering substantially all of our trade dress, logos, and slogans, including: “Active Preview,” “DIRECTIVO,” “Overtime Scheduler,” “Personal TV,” “Primetime Anytime,” “Season Pass,” “See it, want it, get it,” “Thumbs Down” (logo and text), “Thumbs Up” (logo and text), “TiVo Series2” (logo and text), “Home Media Option,” “Wishlist,” and “Life is too short for bad TV.” These applications are currently pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Additionally, we have international trademark applications pending for several of these trademarks. We have licensed the use of our name and logo to some of our customers and consumer electronics manufacturers.

We anticipate ongoing progress in our establishment of a defensible and useful intellectual property portfolio; however, there can be no assurance that current patent applications will ever be allowed or granted. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Factors that May Affect Future Operating Results – Our success depends on our ability to secure and protect patents, trademarks, and other proprietary rights” for additional information concerning our intellectual property.

Privacy Policy

We have adopted a privacy policy, which we make available on our website and deliver to each new subscriber to the TiVo service. This policy was last updated in August 2003 to cover new commerce features that we plan to introduce in the future. This policy explains that we collect certain types of information such as anonymous viewing and diagnostic information, but all viewing information that is linked or associated with an individual identity will not be disclosed without the viewer’s affirmative consent. We further give subscribers the ability to “opt-out” from the collection of anonymous viewing information and diagnostic information log files.

We have designed a system that ensures that any viewing information transmitted from our receiver is anonymous on the receiver and remains unidentifiable to a particular viewer (known as anonymous viewing information), unless that subscriber affirmatively consents to such identification before any viewing data leaves the receiver. Anonymous viewing information is collected separately from any information that identifies a viewer personally. As a result, unless subscribers affirmatively consent to the collection of personally identifiable viewing information before the file containing such viewing information is transmitted from the receiver to our distribution servers, we have no way of matching anonymous viewing information with particular subscribers. We may be able to use this anonymous information to tell a broadcast or advertising client the percentage of our viewers that recorded a particular program or advertisement, but we will not know, nor be able to tell the client, which of our viewers did so, unless a viewer decides to provide that information.

Employees

At April 1, 2004, we employed approximately 304 employees, including 34 in service operations, 180 in research and development, 30 in sales and marketing, and 60 in general and administration. We also employ, from time to time, a number of temporary and part-time employees as well as consultants on a contract basis. At April 1, 2004, we employed 61 such persons. Our future success will depend in part on our ability to attract, train, retain, and motivate highly qualified employees. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel. Our employees are not represented by a collective bargaining organization and we have never experienced a work stoppage or strike. Our management considers employee relations to be good.
