I cut the cord over a year ago and found that I am missing the on-air shows that I like. A few days ago (from what I read) the lifetime service alone was a $500 fee, so this is a nice price for hardware and lifetime service (service is $15 a month, so if you keep this for more than 18 months, it is a great deal).

We have an older TiVo with an offer (that ends May 5) to purchase lifetime service on it for $99. It's at least three years old. Which would you do in this case?

What model is that, and do you have a link or code for that offer? If it was mine I'd jump all over that.

I would take the deal. Even if you are a 2 years in and your Tivo dies, it is cheaper than paying the monthly fee over the 2 years. This specific is the model I was eying when I cut the cord but could not swallow the $500 lifetime fee (the hardware would have still been $50, so this deal is $350 cheaper); I am glad that I waited and got on this deal.

Honestly, this 'lifetime' mentioned here is not that of the owner, but of Tivo...

This is an ATSC tuner and a DVR?
Once content is recorded, can I off load it to an external HD?

That is my thinking, as well.
