I've had my Tivo for 3 years. About a year ago the hard drive got fried in a blackout, but it didn't take too long to get fixed and it's been great otherwise. I got the hard drive upgraded when I got it fixed.

I just had a weird thing happen. I downloaded Firefox for Fedora. By the time I got around to installing it, it had disappeared. A friend found where it was supposed to be, but it was not there. So I downloaded it again. I installed it, and actually used it yesterday (I like!). Today, I went to open it, and the computer told me it can't find it. I haven't done a thorough search, and won't have time to do so tonight, because I would like to get a little sleep before work tomorrow (I'm weak that way), but I thought I would throw it out there in case anyone had heard of this happening before.
Thanks!

CaBil, I've had my first one for over three years with no significant problems -- I upgraded the space on it (it started with 14 hours!) with the weaknees pre-formatted drive a year or so ago. The second one I've had for two or more years -- the first week it developed a hard drive problem, which was cheerfully and efficiently replaced by TiVo. I ended up buying lifetime subscriptions on both of them, which has now been 'paid off'.

Yeah, Theodosia, I am contemplating the product lifetime subs, so it seems like a pretty good deal, since no one's tivo has failed to last that long...

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I've had my Tivo two years with no problems. I'm pretty sure my lifetime subscription has paid for itself by now, but I actually have no idea what the monthly charge is these days.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's about what I thought, so my lifetime sub's just finished paying for itself. That must mean it's time to get a second box.
