Clear and Reset when selling a used TiVo - Yes or No?

Is it necessary to preform a clear and reset when selling a used TiVo? I'm selling a Roamio that has a rather extensive collection of recordings, mostly premium channel movies.



When a Tivo is transferred to another account, are the existing recordings transferable when a new account and MAK is assigned to the box or do the recordings maintain their prior MAK (ie, is the MAK assigned to the box or the recordings?). Would the reassignment of a used TiVo take on the new owners info with no restriction of the prior recordings?



I can see issues were login info to NetFlix, Amazon could be a issue but one can just be sure to logout of Netflix and un-authorize the Tivo at Amazon. Network settings should be OK, while I assign static addresses to my TiVo's, I do so based on MAC address at the router rather than on the box's themselves.



While I don't have any issues with basically handing over my collection of movie recordings is there anything I might be missing or liable for if I don't do a clear and reset? As I see it the new owner could just to guided setup and be good to go right unless of course they prefer to start from scratch.
