Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

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.
