It does have value if you sell it on eBay as is. For about $90 you can get Philips to exchange the unit for a refurbed one and transfer the lifetime over to the replacement unit.
My Lifetime Phillips Series one... Dead?
I have a series 1 Tivo that I upgraded 4 years ago with a turbonet card, and 80GB hard drive, and lifetime service. About 8 months ago, I found it sitting at the "tivo is starting, please wait a minute" screen.
It wont boot anymore. I put the original HDD back in the unit to see if the drive died, changed the drive jumpers, removed the turbonet card, etc. Nothing works. It just sits at that screen and fails to boot up.
I guess the motherboard is shot? Do I have any other options? It has lifetime and turbonet card installed. I would really hate for it to go to waste....
I basically wanted to sell it if I can get it working. I dont know if it has any value or not in its current stage
