Constant reboots can be due to:

PSU needs replacing
Hard disk data corruption - just needs re-imaging or a new drive.
Hard disk physically dying - needs new drive
Motherboard fault

To answer the question, Tivo UK will transfer the sub over to the other tivo ONLY if you can tell them the (lifetime) registered owners details.
(With tivos changing hands a few times without the details being transferred, the original owners details are often lost).

IIRC this has been discussed before. Basically, they won't transfer onto an active monthly subbed box, only onto a dormant one.

Which makes a strange kind of sense. Historically,lifetime transfers were supposed to be from broken box to replacement box. Why would the replacement box already have a sub?
