DULLES, Va. and SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 14, 2000-- World`s Leading Interactive Services Company and the Leading

Provider of Personal Television Will Work Together to EnhanceTelevision Viewing Experience Through AOLTV-Branded Set-Top Box

America Online, Inc. (NYSE: AOL - news), the world`s leading interactive services company, and TiVo, Inc., (NASDAQ: TIVO - news) the creator of personal television, today announced a new three-year strategic agreement in which TiVo will become an AOLTV programming partner, offering AOLTV subscribers access to features of TiVo`s Personal TV Service.

Under the agreement, AOL and TiVo will work together to develop a dual-purpose AOLTV-branded set-top box and TiVo will become the exclusive provider of personal TV features on these set-top boxes. As part of the agreement, America Online will make an investment in TiVo of up to $200 million and receive warrants to purchase additional TiVo shares.

``We`re pleased to expand our relationship with TiVo, a pioneer in personal television, to enhance the services we will be providing AOLTV subscribers,`` said Barry Schuler, President of AOL Interactive Services. ``Bringing TiVo`s personal television features to AOLTV will be another way we can offer our members the best possible interactive television experience.``

AOLTV, part of the AOL Anywhere initiative, will offer AOL members an exciting, new interactive service designed to enhance the television viewing experience.

The AOLTV branded set-top box incorporating TiVo`s features has been targeted for delivery in early 2001.

``We believe our agreement with AOL positions us to lead the evolution of personal TV to the next level and begins to bring TiVo closer to delivering the ultimate television experience,`` said Mike Ramsay, TiVo`s President and Chief Executive Officer. ``Delivering better TV is our mission at TiVo, and we`re pleased that by working with America Online in the development of an AOLTV set-top box, we will have the potential of delivering a far richer, more entertaining TV experience for viewers and to accelerate adoption of the TiVo Service.``

The TiVo Personal TV Service digitally records television shows, without videotape, so consumers can watch what they want, when they want to watch it. Under this agreement, AOLTV subscribers using select set-top boxes will be able to use features of the TiVo Service to pause, slow motion, or instant replay live TV. Or, with the simple click of a button, the user can tell TiVo to automatically find and record their favorite programs every time they air. One of the unique attributes of TiVo is its ability to recommend shows that match consumers` interests through TiVo`s Suggestions(TM) feature.

This agreement expands upon the previous alliance between America Online and TiVo, announced in August 1999, under which the two companies agreed to collaborate to bring consumers a new interactive experience by combining TiVo`s personal television features with AOL TV`s enhanced interactive television experience.
