I gave up on TiVo STB’s years ago when they screwed over one of my best clients, and by extension me. They sold them on lifetime TiVo subscriptions (several hundred dollars per box) for half a dozen boxes. A few died during a lightening strike and we came to find out the lifetime subscription would not transfer to the replacement boxes and only applied to the original box. Client has no problem shelling out cash but that just leaves a real bad taste. We ripped them all out and put in DTV purely out of spite/protest.
