TIVO sells refurbished units as does this company <http://www.dvrupgrade.com/dvr/stores/1/>
They also repair TIVOs (new hard drives- wireless upgrades, etc.) As long as you get an hd box you shouldn't need an upgrade in the future. My 1st generation box is 3 or 4 years old. The info for the lifetime subscription is saved in an onboard rom (I suspect on the motherboard) and as long as your motherboard lasts your lifetime subscription will last. Most everything in tivo can be fixed without affecting the lifetime subscription. Thursday, September 4, 200811:32 PMWendi [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Hi, all, > >Thanks a million for all the great info!
