TiVo is tweaking its product lineup this Sunday, replacing the current TiVo Premiere 320GB model with a 500GB hard drive, which the company says will be good for up to 75 hours of HD content. Along with that refresh is coming a new pricing scheme. The price for the TiVo Premiere will be $149.99, which is $50 more expensive. However, the monthly service fee will drop to $14.99 with a one-year contract — though obviously current customer will be sticking at their current levels. Pricing for those who pick up multiple boxes will drop for $12.99. The Premiere XL and Premiere Elite boxes will remain unchanged, but their prices will go to $249.99 and $399.99, respectively.
