Effective May 19, 2011, if you purchase a TiVo Premiere or TiVo Premiere XL from weaKnees, you’ll be able to purchase lifetime service directly from TiVo. Lifetime service (“PLS” in TiVo-speak, for “product lifetime service”) will cost $499.99 for new TiVo subscribers, and $399.99 for existing standalone TiVo subscribers. For those preferring to pay monthly, service will continue to be $19.99/mo for new subs and $14.99/mo for existing subscribers.
For those who follow these things closely, you’ll notice that the Premiere PLS pricing is $100 more than for non-Premiere boxes, but keep in mind that the price for the TiVo Premiere (and TiVo Premiere XL) dropped $200 when TiVo eliminated PLS for the Premiere and mandated a $19.99/mo plan.
For us at weaKnees, this is fantastic news. We have been begging and pleading with TiVo to bring back PLS for TiVos that our customers purchase from us.
Please remember that these pricing changes go into effect on 5/19, so if you have a newly-purchased Premiere or Premiere XL and want PLS, please don’t activate until 5/19!
