Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I'm thinking of upgrading my TIVO and am not sure which service plan to go with. I have a lifetime agreement on the old one and they are offering either $99 a year or $299 for a new lifetime on the new one.
With the way technology is changing, is it worth it to do the lifetime and get value on it over 3 years? Or does the annual fee make more sense?
I went with the lifetime - my first Tivo lasted 6 years (and was still going strong, but it wasn't HD so I replaced it) so the lifetime sub more than paid for itself. I can't see myself having the money to significantly upgrade my AV system again in less than 3 years.

Suzi, I just got a thing for a half price HD tivo, is that what you want to upgrade to?
That is what I'm looking at Vortex. They are offering me an upgrade with $100 off...so it is $149 (plus the service, plus another wireless thingie).
Yeah, I thought I'd pass the love along. You want?
Sure!!! I just looked at my account and I've had the current TIVO for 5 years this Christmas. Wow, hadn't realized I had it that long.
ETA: Nevermind. Does not support satellite.
hold on, if there are TiVo coupons, I would love one. I am thinking about upgrading mine, but I'm not sure if I want to spend the $$ or not.
BTW, my TiVo has lasted since August 2003. I replaced the hard disk in it and everything.
Until I replaced it just a little while ago, my TiVo had been going since 2000.
