Q: is there a special offer for lifetime service when purchasing a tivo roamio pro from Best buy?

A: When you purchase this particular TIVO Roamio Pro from Best Buy it comes with 1 year of service direct from TV. From what I've read on some online forums, once your year is coming due TIVO will likely offer the option to purhcase a Lifetime subscription. Sometimes, these subscriptions are heavily discounted but it's a matter of timing and catching a promotion at the right time.

Tivo changes the way you watch TV
I have been a Tivo customer for many years. Tivo changes the way you watch TV. My wife and I hardly ever watch TV in "real time" because it is so much more convenient to fast forward through commercials. The Roamio with 6 tuners is great. No more worrying about what shows you might miss because of conflicts. The ability to stream live TV in addition to recorded shows is great. I use the feature to watch sporting events when I'm not home. If you have a vacation home with decent internet access you can watch your home cable at your vacation home. I liked the old version of the season pass better than the new One pass. I seem to be recording re-runs when I specify New Shows Only. Additionally, if the show is on a SD and HD channels it is recording both versions if the option is set to HD if possible. It should be smarter than that.

TiVo was the first, and still the best DVR!
I've been a TiVo owner for over 10 years now, having had nearly every box they've produced over the years. This, for me, is by far their best, 6 tuners, 3 TB HD for over 450 HD hours of recording... I couldn't be happier with this purchase! The remote is both RF and IR, though in RF mode by default, which means you don't have to point the remote directly at the box, which is great. The remote doesn't always respond immediately when in RF mode, but after a couple more presses it then responds. However, most of the time, no problem with it. You can tell whether it's sending an RF or IR signal by the color of the blinking light on the remote. Red = IR, Amber = RF... when it's not responding, I've noticed the light blinking in red, but after 2 or 3 more button presses it turns amber and begins responding. Just a minor annoyance, compared to all the benefits of the familiar, though updated TiVo interface. Setting up SPs and recordings have been flawless, not a single missed recording. It works great with Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon and YouTube streaming, as well as Comcast Xfinity On-Demand... I absolutely love my new TiVo! I can't say enough good things about it.

TiVo does all it says and more
We purchased a complete TiVo Pro system plus Minis for 3 extra TVs. It works beautifully. The main unit needed an Ethernet wire run to it, but the minis run off the existing coax cable that they used for the old cable hookups. We had the Best Buy Geek Squad install the whole thing, which went smoothly. I had already rented the cable card from Charter, our cable provider. The base unit has a huge capacity. So far (after 2 months) we are using less than 10% of capacity. The internet connection to the base unit allows direct running of Netflix, U-Tube, etc. on all 4 TVs. We can record and play recorded shows from any of our 4 TVs. The best thing is that we can pause playback on one TV and resume playing from that point on another TV. Ease of use is a huge selling point for TiVo. There are many thoughtful conveniences built in to how it operates. Recording, even custom recording, is a breeze. The season pass (continuing recording of a show) has worked great and is super easy. When speeding past commercials, hitting the play button rewinds slightly so you aren't continually backing up to catch the first few seconds after the commercial. Of course none of this comes cheap. Our system for 4 TVs cost about $2,000 including installation and lifetime subscriptions to the TiVo service. Subscriptions are mandatory and possibly a bit cheaper if you go the lifetime route rather than monthly. Of course if you have to get a new base unit or replace one of the minis, you may lose. On the plus side, you no longer need to rent any cable boxes or recorders from the cable company. Bottom line, the only drawback is the cost, but you'll feel good about the decision long after the pain of the up front cost has dimmed.
