You'd have to use some kind of image-editing software to erase what's there and replace it. It's not like the text is stored separately -- it's part of the graphic.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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!

Name some image-editing software.
I've been asked to edit a jpg and I'm not sure I have the proper programs to do that.

I bought three years of Tivo Service when I hooked up my TiVo, should I wait until the last year of that for a lifetime service offer, or will they discount me now for what I've already paid?

Photoshop? PaintShopPro?
You might be able to do it with MS Paint, but it depends what the original graphic looks like and how good the end result needs to look.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

BUT, the basic problem will apply no matter what program you use -- if you need to add type, it'll be easy. If you need to change type that's already there, you'll have to crop it out or cover it up.

I could erase but then I couldn't figure out how to replace the text.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
should I wait until the last year of that for a lifetime service offer
The gamble is...will they be offering one then? That's why I just closed my eyes and took the plunge.

Well, people have mentioned that they seem to occassionally offer a lifetime subscription.
Right now, I can't figure out how to upgrade the service alone to lifetime, so it may be a moo[t] point.

They do, and when I got mine they also said they weren't going to any more. They have since then, so it's all confusing twisty speak, but I decided to bargain on nothing.

The trick with the Tivo lifetime is that it is for the lifetime of the machine. So if they come out with a fancy new model that you want, you have to do a lifetime service again. Occasionally they have offers to transfer your lifetime service to a new machine. I've had lifetime Tivo since 1999 back when it was only $99 and I've taken advantage of two of the machine transfer offers so I'm now on a dual tuner non-HD Tivo.
