From time to time we come into possession of TiVo DVRs that already have lifetime subscriptions. So you can buy one, and never pay a monthly fee on the unit.
Further, TiVo charges $399.99 to $499.99 for the lifetime service alone. So these units are a great deal, especially for a new TiVo user who would be at the $499.99 price point.
We’ve just refreshed our inventory of lifetime units. See our page listing TiVo DVRs with prepaid Lifetime Subscriptions.

About 11 years ago, we built a house where cable TV couldn’t be accessed. Directv was the option I went with. I also bought TiVo lifetime subscription for $250 through TiVo. That was the best $250 I have ever spent! TiVo and Directv were separate businesses, then they ‘married’, ‘divorced’, now are whatever. I continue to this day to receive my lifetime TiVo access for ALL of my DVRs. Over the years, I have ‘bought’ DVRs and was never told that a DVR was TiVo subscribed. Directv charges for everything. $6.00 here and $12.00 there can all add up to a substantial monthly cost. If you can get a DVR and alleviate some costs, that would help any family’s budget.
Years ago we purchased a lifetime TiVo agreement and two DVRs. DirecTV has been charging me for dvr service and tells me that I’m not on the lifetime TiVo list. How do I prove that we did purchase it if I don’t have any paperwork or receipts from back then? I just assumed DirecTV would always honor it as long as we kept our service with them. I’m very disappointed in their service at this point.
We’ve really never seen DTV cut the lifetime service like that. Did your account lapse at all?
No– we’ve had continuous service.
