Upgrading multiple Tivos - watch prices

For anyone upgrading several Tivos on their web site, it tends to make a difference which order you upgrade. I upgraded 2 and saw that there was about a $50 difference by changing the order I added things to my cart. Pretty Sneaky!

I noticed that too! Same here, I saved $50 by upgrading the XL first and then adding the premier and wireless dongle.

Would you post a break down of what you were charged and bought so we can see an example?

Sorry I meant both to see where the extra $50 was being applied. The only thing I can think is you were using the 20% off the Premiere instead of the XL which is 239 vs 399. If you added the premiere with lifetime to the order and then added the XL using the upgrade link it shouldn't change the price.

Completely irrelevant to the topic at hand. If you have nothing on-topic to contribute, please don't pollute this thread lauding the features of a competitive product. You can express that in comparative product threads, where your comments would be on-topic.
