Only issue is that you are locked into, after a year or 2 and old, antiquated technology and are not able to enjoy the new features available.
I'm sure it is fine for most, myself - I have this issue where if it can be done I need to be able to do it LOL :-D
Plus, the last time I checked the lifetime subscriptions weren't cheap and you would have to keep the DVR for several years for it to be worth it. |

If that unit fails, you are screwed. And the tivo at the time only came with a 90 day warrenty. So, buy the unit and the lifetime service and after 90 days you could need to do it all over again! |

Lifetime subscriptions I got on my old Series 1 TiVo's have been on my Series 3 HD TiVo's for a couple of years. That was $199 for lifetime (back in the day). I've enjoyed Netflix and other features for a long time before others offered it. Over the years, software updates have opened up new features. Go figure - I didn't know it would all be antiquated a year or two after I paid for it.  |
