When I got my TiVo a few years ago, you could buy a lifetime subscription. I think it was about $300, which seemed pretty reasonable. I've had the unit for almost 4 years so I've definitely broken even on it.

They still seem to offer a lifetime plan, but now it costs $600. That's a bit harder to justify.

What recurring service are you notionally paying for every month??

I think the channel guide data. Without it, the TiVo doesn't know when to record what. $10 still seems very pricey for that though.
