- Word is that Robert flew to one of the Direct TV regional distro centers
and that is why He was the only retailer able to receive them faster. He
plans to ship from there.
- Some customers have upgraded to Over night air and will have them Thurs
This is for the first 174 Pre-oders from Value Electronics.
04/20/2004
- Robert just posted the the first 174 will for sure ship Wed AM 04/21/2004
(see Doug's post below)
- Robert seemed so sure it was like He had them already. He said He was
just being conservative with the May 1st post.
- All other retailers, based on other posts they are still saying first of
May for there first shipments all the way to the end of may. Depends on
retailer.
04/19/2004
- Robert said from the Conference call shipments are delayed again (very end of April now}
- Robert from Value Electronics is said to have a 5PM ET Monday conference
call with Direct on the Shipping.
- The HD Tivo has not been delivered to any store yet as of Monday noon.
- The HDMI port is fixed (this had caused some delays).
- Production shipments with the fixed HDMI port should ship sometime this
week to ValueElectronics and maybe to other Big Box stores.
- Some 200 final Production release HD Tivos were shipped to Beta Testers
and Direct Executives and one to Robert in the last 1-2 weeks. These
were found to have the HDMI port not to spec for 3rd party cables.
Please feel free to add more to this list, but only summary information. Nothing else, we need a short bullet point list, like what you would give an executive.
