hereto (each, a "Stockholder" and, collectively, the "Stockholders").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS,  America Online and TiVo are,  concurrently with the execution
and delivery of this Agreement,  entering into an Investment Agreement, dated as
of the date hereof (including the exhibits thereto, the "Investment  Agreement;"
capitalized terms used without definition herein having the meanings assigned to
them in the Investment Agreement), pursuant to which America Online will acquire
shares of the capital stock of TiVo; and

         WHEREAS,  as of the date  hereof,  each  Stockholder  is the record and
beneficial  owner of the number of shares of common stock,  par value $0.001 per
share, of TiVo ("TiVo Common Stock"),  as set forth on the signature page hereof
beneath  such  Stockholder's  name  (with  respect  to  each  Stockholder,  such
Stockholder's  "Existing  Shares" and,  together  with any shares of TiVo Common
Stock or other  voting  capital  stock of TiVo  acquired  after the date hereof,
whether  upon the  exercise of  warrants,  options,  conversion  of  convertible
securities or otherwise, such Stockholder's "Shares");

         NOW  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  foregoing  and  the  mutual
representations,  warranties,  covenants and agreements  herein  contained,  and
intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

                                     VOTING

1.1 Agreement to Vote. Each  Stockholder  hereby agrees that it shall, and shall
cause the holder of record on any applicable  record date to, from time to time,
at the request of America Online,  at any meeting (whether annual or special and
whether or not an  adjourned  or  postponed  meeting) of  stockholders  of TiVo,
however called, or in connection with any written consent of the holders of TiVo
Common  Stock,  (a) if a meeting is held,  appear at such  meeting or  otherwise
cause  the  Shares  that  are  beneficially  owned  or  held of  record  by such
Stockholder or as to which such  Stockholder  has,  directly or indirectly,  the
right to vote or direct the voting to be counted as present thereat for purposes
of  establishing  a  quorum,  and (b) vote or  consent  (or cause to be voted or
consented),  in person or by proxy, all Shares,  and any other voting securities
of TiVo (whether acquired  heretofore or hereafter) that are beneficially  owned
or held of record  by such  Stockholder  or as to which  such  Stockholder  has,
directly or indirectly,  the right to vote or direct the voting, in favor of (i)
the amendments to the certificate of incorporation  of TiVo  contemplated by the
Investment  Agreement  and the  form of  Amended  and  Restated  Certificate  of
Incorporation of TiVo attached as Exhibit A to the Investment Agreement and (ii)
the approval of the issuance by TiVo of the Shares,  the Conversion  Shares, the
Warrants and the Warrant  Shares (as each such term is defined in the Investment
Agreement)  pursuant  to the terms of the  Investment  Agreement  and  shares of
Common Stock  pursuant to the  Stockholders  Agreement (any matter under clauses
(i) or (ii), a "Subject Proposal").

1.2 Proxy. Each Stockholder hereby  irrevocably  grants to, and appoints,  David
Courtney  and  any  person  designated  in  writing  by  him,  and  each of them
individually, as such Stockholder's proxy, agent and attorney-in-fact (with full
power  of  substitution),  for  and  in  the  name,  place  and  stead  of  such
Stockholder,  to vote (or cause to be voted)  the Shares  beneficially  owned or
held of record by such Stockholder or as to which such Stockholder has, directly
or  indirectly,  the right to vote or direct the  voting,  or grant a consent or
approval in respect of such Shares,  in each case, on any Subject  Proposal in a
manner  consistent  with  Section  1.1.  America  Online  acknowledges  that  no
Stockholder  is  granting a proxy  with  respect to any matter to be voted on by
TiVo's  stockholders  other than a Subject  Proposal.  Each  Stockholder  hereby
affirms  that  such  proxy is  given in  connection  with the  execution  of the
Investment Agreement, is coupled with an interest and may under no circumstances
be revoked prior to the termination of this Agreement.

1.3 No Ownership  Interest.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed
to vest in America  Online any direct or  indirect  ownership  or  incidence  of
ownership of or with respect to any Shares.  All rights,  ownership and economic
benefits of and relating to the Shares shall remain  vested in and belong to the
Stockholders,  and America  Online shall have no  authority  to manage,  direct,
superintend,  restrict,  regulate,  govern, or administer any of the policies or
operations of TiVo or exercise any power or authority to direct the Stockholders
in the voting of any of the Shares,  except as otherwise  provided herein, or in
the performance of the Stockholders'  duties or responsibilities as stockholders
of TiVo.

1.4 No Inconsistent  Agreements.  Each  Stockholder  hereby covenants and agrees
that, except as contemplated by this Agreement and the Investment Agreement, the
Stockholder  (a) has not  entered,  and shall not enter at any time  while  this
Agreement  remains in effect,  into any voting  agreement  or voting  trust with
respect to the Shares and (b) has not  granted,  and shall not grant at any time
while  this  Agreement  remains  in effect,  a proxy or power of  attorney  with
respect  to the  Shares,  in  either  case,  which  is  inconsistent  with  such
Stockholder's obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE II

               REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF EACH STOCKHOLDER

         Each  Stockholder  hereby,  severally and not jointly,  represents  and

been duly  executed  and  delivered  by such  Stockholder,  and,  assuming  this
