So, yeah.... I just wanted to give a quick shout out to my three TiVos that we're actively using in our house. All were purchased brand new, and all have been working non-stop since first plug-in. Oh yeah, and all three have had Lifetime since new:
We start with our first-ever TiVo, purchased and first activated on 12/31/2001...a Series 1 Sony SVR-2000. Working for over 13 years, It has only needed one new hard drive, and a replacement remote when the original one finally gave up. It is STILL on dialup (!!!), and residing in my MIL's room who lives with us. "Backwards-connected" to a Comcast Digital Adapter (so the TiVo remote changes the channel on the adapter, not the other way around, so we can use the TiVo remote instead of the little Comcast adapter remote), it continues to chug away, and dial out over our Vonage network.
#2 is our TiVo Series 2, a Sony SVR-3000 that we picked up during the liquidation sale at "Nobody Beats The Wiz", and activated on 3/27/2003. Also receiving a new hard drive, and getting a new remote last week, it is also connected in the same way to a Comcast Digital Adapter. This is our bedroom TiVo.
#3 is the "modern" TiVo, connected to a 60" flat-screen TV in our family room, the original Series 3 (THX-Certified) TCD648250B. It was activated 2/25/2007 (it's, like, BRAND NEW compared to the other ones!), and has received a new hard drive and power supply. It's using two "S" cable cards from Comcast (remember, this was the only TiVo that couldn't use an "M" card...) and can stream back and forth from my Series 2 upstairs. Downloading from Amazon Instant Video works great on those two as well.
I was looking at the 10-year deal to get a new Romio, and two TiVo Minis, but, frankly, everything now is working perfectly... Lifetime has paid for itself over and over on all three boxes, and I can't justify making the switch right now.
So, for a TiVo user that's been with TiVo for over 13 years, and STILL using the same TiVos, I want to take the time to THANK those legacy TiVos for doing such a great job all these years!!! (I think they can hear me talking about them.....!)
