IMPORTANT NOTES:

1) Lifetime subscription is for the lifetime of the DVR box. If your box breaks down and you replace it with another one (even under warranty), that is the end of the box's life - and your subscription.

2) TiVo only warranty their hardware for 90 days,


That said, My TiVo has been cranking along for 5 years. I have done a drive swap after the original failed in its first 8 months.
