None of the TiVo owners I know heard about the change before it happened. I assumed TiVo kept it quiet because they were afraid of a run on boxes w/lifetime subs before the deadline. I'm glad that some people like you, knew about it and had a choice. I'm equally glad that the new options work out fine for you.
I mentioned only the three-year deal because that is the plan that works out to the lowest monthly cost.

It's been all over the various news sites and was plastered on the front home page on Tivos site. In addition you don't have to do a 3 year commitment. You can do a 1 year for 224.00 which also give you the 80 hour Tivo box so there is no up front cost. They just spread it across the year subscription. I thought long and hard about buying one before the new rules took places so I could buy a lifetime then I decided against it. Lifetime follows the box and I wasn't confident that there wouldn't be a new cooler Tivo box in a few years. If there was I would then have to buy the new box and couldn't transfer my lifetime so I don't mind buying a new subscription every year or so. Yahoo!
