Not Quite A Lifetime
I found this story over on Engadget about the subscription plan for the latest TiVo HD. Those greedy TiVo folks are always looking to squeeze a few extra bucks from their faithful subscribers. Here's the offer:
So after you've bought a lifetime subscription for the last TiVo box, and now buy a new TiVo box for $299, you get the special privilege of "transferring" the lifetime subscription to the new TiVo box for a mere $199. Good thing you don't have to purchase it again, I can only imagine what they would charge for that!
Seriously folks, these prices are out of sight to simply record some television. I could just buy the series on DVD when it comes out, and have dough left over. I think this means that the subscription is only for the lifetime of the box, so clearly this is not such a good deal.

My DirecTV DVR cost $9.95 and $5.00 a month. I'll tell you more when I finish the review...
