Tivo Inc (TIVO)

ALVISO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 01/20/10 --
TiVo Inc., the creator of and a leader in
television services and advertising solutions for digital video recorders
(DVRs), offered the following statement today on recent Microsoft legal
action:

"Microsoft's recent legal actions, including its decision to seek to
intervene on behalf of its customer, AT&T, and its recent complaint against
TiVo in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California do not bear on
whether the AT&T products and services that are the subject of TiVo's
complaint infringe the patents asserted by TiVo. Rather these actions are
part of a legal strategy to defend AT&T. We remain confident in our
position that AT&T will be found to infringe on the TiVo patents asserted."
