Blurb FYI on TIVO ipo, i like it... plus another 5% Vulcan venture owned. FROM CBS MKTW : Of the two, Tivo (TIVO: news, msgs) more closely resembles an Internet stock since the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company focuses on weaving TV technology with Web-like applications. A provider of interactive, personalized TV programming services, Tivo is working with America Online (AOL: news, msgs) on AOL TV. The company is offering 5.5 million shares at $16 per share, well above its range of $11 to $13 in a deal lead by CS First Boston. The high price indicates strong demand for Tivo, which has already gained about 25 percent in value as the deal moved closer to its debut. Tivo makes a video recorder that allows viewers to watch what they want when they want it. The technology also allows brands to target specific ads to households. The company has partnerships with DirecTV, NBC, Philips and Quantum. DirectTV owns a 12.5 stake in the company. Paul Allen's Vulcan Ventures and electronic giant Philips both own 5 percent.
