  Sit down and work out the math first.

  In the end, out of 30 permutations (80-hour S2, 80-hour S2DT, and 180-hour S2DT bundles from TiVo.com, and 540 and non-540 rebate units from retail times the 6 pricing options) 21 of them *dropped* in cost. 1 stayed the same. 5 increased just slightly – $13.60-$15 for 1-year, and one $18 increase over 2-years.

  There were only three (or two, depending on how you look at it) noticeable increases. The two 1-year monthly S2DT bundles each increased $40. The 1-year monthly non-540 retail net increased $54.

  All of the three year plans dropped, up to $154 off the old prices. All but one two year plan dropped, the exception went up $18 spread over 2 years.

  One 1-year plan stayed the same. Four of them had only minor increases, $15 or less. With the remaining three showing real increases.

  Overall, this is a price decrease more than an increase.

  Huh? I don’t think many people (like me) will be doing the math.

  I’ve got a new Media Center PC and am getting ready to shutdown my 3 Tivos. I know other people who have done the same.
