Jessica, we've had good results both with Magellan Roadmates and TomToms. The only thing I'd recommend is spending a little more and getting one with lifetime map updates.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Anyone else have a Tivo Premier? Any opinions?
The new OS feels like a work in progress to me. Sometimes I get the old screens and sometimes I get the new ones, with little rhyme or reason to it. But if you didn't previously have an HD Tivo, then you'll love it regardless.

Thanks Jon. My current machine is a Series 2. I'm also looking forward to being able to get Netflix streaming through my Tivo.

Yeah, it's a big step up from a S2. If you already have a S3, I wouldn't bother upgrading. I did, and partly regret it.

Suzi, yes, the lifetime Tivo is transferable.

It might be transferrable now, but there was definitely a time when the subscription went with the box. If you bought it then, they may be difficult.

Vortex, that was what I meant, the subscription with the box to a new person. I don't think you can shift a subscription from one box to another.

Yeah, I meant that it can be transferee to the new person. I know this because my friend gave me my Tivo and it was a cinch to put it in my name with the lifetime service.

Art Crawl!!!
I've got a series 2 and I've been thinking of changing up. What sort of wireless router would I need to get to make the whole Netflix thing work?
And I am changing my digital cable box anyway - do I have to ask for a second digital card on the new one to make Tivo premiere do it's thing?
(I don't have an hd tv but I'm guessing that isn't necessary?)
