When DTV releases new HD DVR with MPEG 4 will they continue to honor TiVo lifetime subscriptions? Has anyone encountered this yet?

It too soon to tell whether they will continue with Lifetime when you replace a TiVo based DVR with the NDS based. Maybe someone with R15s can answer this.

According to the current Customer agreement, they will continue it.....however as usual
this is also subject to change...
----------------
If you paid a "lifetime service fee," you will not be charged a fee for your DIRECTV DVR Service as long as you maintain television programming service from DIRECTV on the same account. If you disconnect your DIRECTV television programming service and later reconnect on the same account, your DIRECTV DVR service will be reconnected and you will not be charged a fee for DIRECTV DVR Service.

Yes, the R15's will still work on lifetime DVR service.

Sometime a couple of years ago, my "TiVo lifetime" line-item was magically transformed into a "lifetime DVR" item. Hopefully it'll stick around.
