TIVO AUTHORIZES STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN OF UP TO $100 MILLION

Alviso, Calif. - August 12, 2011 - TiVo Inc. (Nasdaq: TIVO) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of its outstanding common shares over a period of two years. The share repurchase program will be funded through the Company's existing cash.

“We believe that the repurchase of our common stock represents one effective use of our capital and underscores our commitment to maximize value for our shareholders, given the significant recent market weakness and the cash on our current balance sheet as well as our NOL position” said Tom Rogers, TiVo's President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are confident in our future growth prospects and believe we have the right elements in place and resources available to drive long term value for our shareholders.”

This program shall be effective on August 29, 2011.
