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.

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?)

You'll need the cable guy to install a cablecard into the Tivo, but then you'll be able to return the digital cable box. All you'll need is the Tivo.

You should confirm that with your cable company, but that's *supposed* to be the whole point of cablecards.
You might not be able to get video on demand, but since you can have the Tivo record a normal showing of whatever's on demand, and also use it for the Netflix instant queue, that may not be an issue for you.

Yeah, I kinda miss OnDemand--I had just gotten into using it, and it was especially nice for the HBO OnDemand. OTOH, I think my new cable company doesn't have it anyway, and is sucktastic, so...I'd be missing it anyway.
