Honestly, this 'lifetime' mentioned here is not that of the owner, but of Tivo...
It was the same for the Replay, as I remember.
Besides company closure, the big problem, as mentioned by Robert and others, is lifetime service is still only valid for the specific device. You buy another Roamio, prepare to shell out for lifetime again. Want to upgrade three or four years down the road, prepare to pay for lifetime again.
Which is why, like Robert, I too have avoided buying into the ecosystem.
