Reactivating old Roamio

Yes they do. It would be cheaper with lifetime (all-in) ($550) than the monthly $15. It would be all you would pay, instead of the $15 and before long, it really adds up past the $550.

 

Try calling Tivo and see if you can get a discounted lifetime. Online never gives discounts. Lifetime sticks with the box so if Its not used long or whatever, or even sold.

You're entirely on top of it, it seems. The only other suggestion might be to consider a used Roamio Plus or Pro w/ Lifetime service off eBay. (Or, yeah, a base Roamio.)

That said, see the following for service plan details: Tivo Customer Support Community

'gist: Yes, the $15/mo plan would apply to your old Roamio. (They *have* cut-off new service plans for Premiere models, but Roamios are still OK.)

 

Probably not, since you'd need the guide data to verify tuning.

But you could research whether the $15/mo service plan would be eligible for a refund (see terms linked in prev post). Perhaps transfer the box to a new account before service (re)activation?

 

Is this a fact that you can no longer activate Premieres? I have 3 in my closet that just became parts donors.

 

Check the link referenced, first sentence.
