yeah, and when my first TiVo got hit by lighting, lifetime did me no 
good.  I have a nice Sony TiVo sitting on the floor of my office that 
I've been kicking around since '02 because of that.   Unfortunately 
there are no options that I could get working to attach it to my 
wireless network.

So far, i've yet to keep another TiVo over 12 - 15 months.   $12.95 + 
$6.95 works for me.
