Ok, so there seemed to be a lot of confusion with Tivo's policy regarding getting rid of their lifetime subscription. The old policy was:
-If you had an activated box, you must subscribe by 3/15 (which was then extended to 3/18)to upgrade to lifetime.
-If you had an unactivated or box bought by 3/15, you had until 4/15 to activate Lifetime Service.
NEW DETAILS:
Everyone, including current subscribers, has until 4/15/06 to purchase lifetime subscription. You can buy a unit from now until 4/15 and still qualify.
From Tivo Mktg:
We appreciate the feedback and apologize if some of our agents are providing inaccurate information.
We know that there have been retail advertisements which refer to product lifetime, and there have been requests here for a longer opportunity to purchase lifetime before it's discontinued. As a result, we have decided to offer product lifetime as a subscription option through 4/15/06, even for those that have purchased since 3/15 (you do have to call to activate lifetime service though, and lifetime is not applicable for systems purchased via a bundle plan).
Our customer service team is being updated today, so please wait until later today or tomorrow and call back once the message has been delivered to all the agents.
