Question: how much is the subscription price?
Document: Tivo just changed their service plan and discounted the tivo box price. So in other words, anyone that buys this box is locked into a $20 a month plan with no option for lifetime subscription plan. Not such a good deal after all! Talk about sticking it to the consumers. . . .
Please be careful and check on the TiVo website if the following has changed:  TiVo's latest fee structure states that if a unit is purchased from a 3rd party, such as Amazon for the highly subsidized price of $99.00, your monthly subscription charge is to $19.99 per month.
Did not know about the monthly price before I bought this item. How on earth can they charge 20 bucks a month for the service?? Basically all they are doing is sending an electornic version of the TV guide to the box!! The TV guide is available for free on the internet!! If the subscription price was 4 or 5 dollars, I wouldnt have sent it back.
I am using this box to record the antenna signal, if I had cable I would have never bought this box. Total price paid: $468 - includes lifetime subscription. If you are going to buy it I would suggest TIVO.com not amazon because the boxes sold on here are not currently eligable for lifetime subscriptions, with no assurance that they will be.
My sister gave me this for Christmas, purchased at full price through Amazon. At activation through Tivo, my only subscription option is 19.99 a month. Tivo will give you the box for FREE with the same monthly price. I confirmed this with a Tivo representative. So, Amazon is selling a box that can be had for ZERO dollars through Tivo.If anyone thinks I have the wrong info please let me know.
I thought I was saving money buying this Tivo and so the 15.00 a month didn't really seem so bad. BTW the lifetime subscription is not the 350 advertised some ads show but 500.00 which is just one more way they stick it to the consumer. What they don't tell you in the ads is that it's not wireless and will only use their tivo adapter for wireless connection. You guessed it, another way of increasing the price!!
I am using the TIVO now, and it beats the pants off of my DVD recorder (there is a difference between a DVR and a DVD recorder, as they are not the same thing). My criticisms are that the service subscription fee should be reduced from $20 per month to $10 to $13 per month. Another pricing method would be to raise the price of the unit to include free lifetime subscription service (like Channel Master does).
The cablecard will cost you a monthly fee and the Tuning Adapter is normally free.BE AWARE TWO: though the price of this device appears to have gone down, TiVo has increased their monthly subscription cost substantially to account for this. They charge $19.99 a month and lock you into a one year commitment. This is up from the previous price of $12.99 with no monthly commitment. It appears they are taking on the same business model used by cellphone companies.
I originally wrote an unfavorable view based on Tivo's recent fee increases but after finding out more about it I realized it's more a matter of poor communication than a bad idea. Previously you had to pay a hefty price for the hardware and then a relatively low price for the monthly "subscription" -- at least low compared to what you'd pay your cable provider for a comparable but inferior box.What Tivo has now done is reduced or eliminated the up-front cost of buying a box and increased the monthly charges.
I bought the TiVo Premiere AFTER I looked at all the options. NOWHERE was there information that warned me that if I purchased this TiVo unit from anyone other than TiVo themselves, I would NOT be able to get a 1-year subscription or a LifeTime subscription or be able to transfer my current service to the new TiVo box. I was told from a TiVo rep that we'd have to pay a higher monthly price of $19.99-$240 on an annual contract. NO OTHER OPTION!
Answer: Depends on if there is a special going on or not, but mine is standard $14.99 month or u can pay a year up front. I would definitely by the tivo off here. My 1st one im leasing and it was $150+ to get it. Then I got smart and when I put a 2nd one in the house, I just bought it off here. I wish I would have known better! Good luck
