I have a friend that has several original, stand-alone TiVo'es, all with Lifetime Service. One of these units on his account is actually at his father's house and is being used from there. -- (against TiVo policy?) -- He wants to get his father's S1 with Lifetime Service off of his personal TiVo(dot)com account and get it over to a NEW account that would be created for his father. Once this is complete his father wants to purchase a new HD unit and hopefully obtain multi-unit pricing on the monthly service for the new HD unit.
I've searched the forums fairly deep and cannot find a similar scenario that has been discussed here before. All of the discussions that I find relate to questions about moving Lifetime service from a grandfathered S1 to a new S3 unit, which is not what we're trying to do here.
1. Call TiVo?
2. Create new account for his Dad.
3. Transfer ownership of a Lifetime S1 to the new account.
4. Purchase new HD TiVo (with multi-unit monthly pricing?)
And of course he wants both TiVo'es to be shown on his account when he logs into tivo(dot)com.
Any advice/recommendation would be greatly appreciated.
