Alternate TV listing options

Regarding lifetime subscription...if Tivo wanted to have loyal 
customers and get more lifetime subscriptions they would make the 
subscription transferable. My first tivo died (motherboard problem) 11 
months after I bought it. If I hadn't voided the warrenty then I could 
of gotten it fix for $99 and it would of only had 1 month left of 
warrenty. It seems kinda silly to me to spend $200-$250 for a lifetime 
subscription when the hardware might not outlive the cost of monthly 
subscription and is quickly being outdated (ie next generation Tivo).
