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!
If it's a problem with the modem
Yeah, that's the question. And it sort of forces the issue: spend the $70 on the assumption it's the modem, or just grit my teeth for a couple months and program it by hand, or take the leap to a new one entirely.
One reason I'm reluctant to get a new Tivo is this one has a lifetime subscription on it, so I don't really want another monthly fee...
So my bosses let our antivirus subscription expire. Now one of my bosses has spent about 4 hours so far trying to get rid of a virus. Who knows how much longer it will take. The loss of billable hours will be many times the cost of the antivirus subscription.
But I don't understand the point of a virus that renders your computer unusable....
Suela,
check TiVo and see if they have a deal to move the lifetime to a new unit.
Stupid Excel question. I can't see columns A-E in a spreadsheet, how do I unhide them?
ETA: Nevermind. Someone froze the panes. I hate sharing spreadsheets with people.

I will, although I suspect not: it's not really a good investment on their part, you know?
I have had luck in the past getting them to transfer lifetime service. One of our TiVo HD machines is running on the lifetime account I paid $99 for in 1999 on an original TiVo.
With today's market, a tivo is a luxury, and people might choose to go without or move to a cable provider DVR if they have to pay a monthly fee again.
I'm on my third TiVo, original lifetime subscription.

Okay, how did you do that?
