TiVo and Best Buy Team Up
In an attempt to rebound from losing 25% of their subscriber base over the past two years, TiVo and Best Buy have struck a deal. TiVo DVRs will be promoted at Best Buy stores and TiVo will gain access to Best Buy’s Napster music service. This also allows for Best Buy to communicate with consumers even after they have left the store. Products such as Best-Buy branded TiVo’s aren’t set to debut until early 2010. With TiVo DVRs being touted at Best Buy stores, consumers will need a fast and reliable source to get these devices on their network, which is where MoCA comes into the fold. Let us know what you think of this news in the comments.

MoCA Spotted at Best Buy – Internet Communications
MoCA at Best Buy
Went down to the Santana Row Best Buy in San Jose, CA and spotted the first MoCA networking kits in the computer section of the store along with the Slingbox, cable modems, and DSL modems. They hadn’t yet switched out all of the price tags so the description didn’t match the NETGEAR MCA1001 model number and price but it sure looked good on the shelf. To the left of the MoCA units are the Tivo wireless adapters so everything sort of fits together.
The Santana Row Best Buy is one of the more impressive Best Buys I’ve seen, 2 stories of electronics with all the extras even an Apple Store. If you’re looking for a pair of MoCA networking units and don’t want to wait for the UPS guy to show up, check out the Best Buy website and use Store Pickup from a local Best Buy that has them.
