My TiVo HD just recently failed and I've decided to give up on TiVo. It goes straight to a grey screen after the "warming up" stage. What I would like to know is does my box still have value because it has a lifetime subscription linked to it? I assume someone could buy my box, have me transfer the subscription, and then either attempt to repair it or get the $149 refurb special that TiVo wants. Any advice?

You could get a replacement drive, from weaknees.com, or even from amazon.com, I saw once there was a HD for the TivoHD.

Tivo HD Upgrade (http://www.amazon.com/Tivo-Hd-Hard-Drive-Upgrade/dp/B001AHCBA4/ref=sr_1_47?ie=UTF8&qid=1311916140&sr=8-47) Its a 250GB drive and the original is a 160 GB. $54.99

If you haven't already, make sure you've got good connections to the drive, both power and data, maybe even try a different data cable.
