I have an older Sony Sat-60 Tivo/DTV box. When I bought it I purchased the lifetime subscription. The HDD crapped out on it quite a while ago. I disconnected the box from DTV to stop paying the $5 for the additional box. I would like to repair the HDD on the Tivo and hook it back up in one of my bedrooms.
So if I repair the box and call DTV to hook it back up, will I have to pay extra for the Tivo service now? Do they have a record that I had the lifetime package?
Would I be better off just buying a new Tivo/DTV box? I see they still don't have any connections greater than S-Video but the cooling system on the new units seems much better than my Sony has, which I am sure is really good for the hard drives.
I saw someone say something about getting a OLD customer discount on the new HD-Tivos, what would one do to get this discount?
Last thing are there any other HD-Tivo manufactures ready to put out a product besides Hughes? Just curious on that one.
