Suela,
check TiVo and see if they have a deal to move the lifetime to a new unit.

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!

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm on my third TiVo, original lifetime subscription.

By keeping an eye on their site, and upgrading whenever they mentioned they'd carry it over. But I would try asking and pushing, just in case.
