I have a series 2, lifetime subscription. I can't move it, nor do I want to at this point. I mean come on, give me a system update or even a small box to allows the Netflix to work. I would pay 50 dollars for that.
When you forget the people with series 2 players, its a nice kick in the face.
I will not buy another Tivo, ever.
You are screwing the people who stuck up for you. You do not give good discounts to the old generation to upgrade or move their lifetime memberships.
You will fall apart Tivo. Dish Network is looking to kick your ass, and they will. You still want us to buy our own wireless adaptors? Come on.
Ridiculous. Absolutely Ridiculous.

The inbred rhesus monkeys that Cablevision employed managed to produce a lovely interface replete with button lag, unnecessary extra-steps, and counterintuitiveness. And, thanks to their steady diet of Sterno, Wild Irish Rose, and fermented orange soda, I get to enjoy the fact that pressing the guide button pulls up the menu for me to use to scroll down to select the guide.
After all, why would I expect a button labelled "Guide" to actually pull of the Guide?

But honestly... after using a TiVo HD, I will never... EVER use any other DVR.
Cable provided DVR things I don't miss:
- the Commodore 64-style UI design (the Scientific Atlanta HD DVR that they force you to use in Arlington VA has an interface that looks like stir-fried s**t.)
- the 3-8 second button lag
- limited storage space
- No networking ability
...And as soon as I can I'm getting rid of Comcast.

Lucky bastard. Some of us are still stuck with the Commodore PET design.
