Robert - This is straight from the TiVo Service Agreement in my SAT-T60 receiver's manual:

"Definition of Lifetime Service - If you paid a Lifetime Service fee for your Receiver, the TiVo service is guaranteed for the lifetime of that Receiver" ... "will be provided only to that particular Receiver and therefore cannot be transferred to any others you may purchase."

Are you saying that this has changed?

Kris - TiVo makes money only out of the service subscription. There is a ton of work to create and maintain (and keep enhancing) the software, to provide it and integrate it into the hardware, and to acquire and format the guide information on a continuous basis. You will not find anybody doing this for free, not as long as we need to pay for food, lodging and entertainment :).
