When Morgan Freeman talks about how family makes him want to sharpen up the cutlery, is that a euphemism? -- nm - David Jan 27, 10:43 3

Lifetime subscription is $399!!! eff you Tivo! my first one was $199. -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 10:13 26
- They make their money with subscriptions now. So, the price went up. -- nm - David Jan 27, 10:16 5
  - I hate that they went to the cell phone model. I'd rather pay full price and have the monthly be cheaper. - spamlet Jan 27, 10:24 1
    - And don't get me started on the fact that in 2012 they still don't put wifi in the box. -- nm - spamlet Jan 27, 10:50
  - so the subscription is actually a better deal now? -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 10:18 2
    - It's $20 a month for the first box. So, it depends on how long you have the device. -- nm - David Jan 27, 10:19 1
      - I've had this one seven years. -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 10:19
- buy a new tivo and transfer it to the new tivo..... - Remlik Jan 27, 10:14 19
  - I think they charged me $200 to transfer lifetime to my new TiVos. -- nm - GregW Jan 27, 10:37 1
    - that still beats $399 (which apparently is a discount since I'm already lifetime). -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 10:38
  - They no longer do this. The TiVo lifetime subscription is for that unit only. -- nm - David Jan 27, 10:16 9
    - I thought they allowed you to do that for $199 (so half the regular price). -- nm - pmb Jan 27, 10:53
    - What she could do is tell that her tivo is is breaking and they'll sell her a new one and transfer it over.... - Remlik Jan 27, 10:19 7
      - I don't know. I've never tried that. It's worth a shot. -- nm - David Jan 27, 10:20 6
        
        I think she'd have to pay for the new box. but they should transfer. I've had 3 tivos in the last year and half. -- nm - Remlik Jan 27, 10:22 5
        
        maybe they're under warranty? I really doubt mine still is. -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 10:23 4
        
        it is worth a phone call -- nm - Remlik Jan 27, 10:32 3
        
        yeah, I'll try. tell me the magic words you used. ugh, shopping for electronics is horrible. I hate it with the fire of a thousand sunds. -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 10:36 2
        
        The first thing to keep in mind is that more experienced agents are better with offers than novices. - David Jan 27, 10:46 1
        
        huh. thanks. -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 10:48
  - why do they not tell you that's possible? I don't see it on the site. -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 10:15 6
    - call them.... - Remlik Jan 27, 10:16 1
      - what's full price? -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 10:16
    - terms of the agreement: - loosilu Jan 27, 10:16 3
      - I think that is ridiculous, and is an incentive for them to build crappier products - Guigue Jan 27, 10:31 1
        
        that sub price is ridiculous. -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 10:37
