If you watch a lot of over-the-air (OTA) HD television and want a solid DVR for it, and you are comfortable you’ll be happy with TiVO in the long term, there’s a new offer at Amazon, with Lifetime TiVO service, for $300 you can get the TiVo Roamio OTA HD DVR. This is a pretty good deal by TiVo standards.
You buy the DVR on its own for $50, but you have to pay $15/mo to get the TiVo service (program guide and all their other helpful features). The difference between the two is $250. Divide that by $15, and that means you come ahead with the “Lifetime Service” after 17~ months. That’s less than 1.5 years – as long as you live at a place where you have over-the-air antenna reception.
IMPORTANT: for whatever reason, activation is not straightforward for this promotion. If you want to avoid hassle and frustration, TiVo’s Support page has detailed instructions on how to set it up and configure it.
