$400 bucks for lifetime is STEEP. And you have to be a Tivo subscriber already, which means, you've been getting porked all this time and if you want to go HD and lifetime, well, they got to pork you EXTRA good.
Sad. Nothing like a "thank you porking" to upgrade.
I've have my series 1 (switched to 3) for 8 years. Now... I paid a fee to transfer my lifetime from 1 to 3 (300$) and my orginal life time was 300... So I have paid 600 for it.
So, I'm still ahead and I will be for a long time to come. The series 3 is GREAT and will certainly last me another 5 years at least. Granted I may dump some cash into updating the hard drive, etc. -that would be no different if I were paying a monthly fee.

What assholes.
Sad...
And I bet the HD Tivo price remains $300.00..at least until 01/02/08...
$700.00 is steep
400 = about 5 years @6.95/month
