Should I get lifetime for TIVO?

[Akebona]

I just bought a Tivo 80-hour for $249 free shipping. I'm debating whether or not I should get the lifetime subscription or the monthly fee. It will take about 1 year 11 months for the lifetime to pay off. But will TIVO be around by then? Will I upgrade by then? Or will my Tivo still be working by then? I'm not sure, what do you guys think? I know I can still record stuff w/o the monthly fee, i just have to do it manually like a VCR.

you should return it, get a replaytv and get a lifetime subscription for that

I went with the lifetime, made sense to me.

isn't replayTV near bankruptcy now?

Replay now requires the same one time fee or monthly fee on it's new model units that Tivo has.

The only ones that don't are the old models like this sorry ass Panasonic Showstopper 2000 I have.
