wow! That’s actually great! Think about this… you can buy a TiVo Lifetime subscription gift card on e-bay for around $600.00. But, you can also buy pre-owned TiVo series 1’s and 2’s that have the lifetime subscription for around $200.00. The way I see it, that means you can buy a used Tivo for $200 and transfer it to a new TiVo for an additional $200 and end up saving $200 over buying a gift card for a lifetime subscription gift card.

I was under the impression that the lifetime subscription was for the service as a whole, not just the service for one box. Now they’re making you pay, again, to transfer the lifetime subscription? They’re really bending the consumer over on this one.

Welcome to capitalism, sorry we’re out of lubrication. Just try to go to a happy place.
