TiVo is expensive. I have considered in on several occaisons. Every time I have, the idea of paying a flat fee of $299 and receiving service for “life” has always appealled to me. Of course the small print means that is the life of the receiver, not the life of the purchaser, to my understanding. They have decided to drop that service in the coming week. So the question: should I run out and buy it?
I bought directTV’s dvr service for $4.99 a month recently. It works well. It would take 5 years to get ahead (assuming no price increase … and directTV is doing a price increase in many areas this very month) on the TiVo plan.
