Need Tivo repair?

Scrooge McSam · 02-02-2006, 09:47 AM

So my Tivo died a couple of weeks back.

Yeah, that's all I'm gonna say about that. Tivo owners, can you feel me?

After the requisite whining and the vows of never watching live TV again (I admit it, I'm ruined for live TV. Live TV is what I USED to watch), I started casting around for a solution to my new lack of Tivo-ness.

I could buy a new unit and pay a new "lifetime" membership. Grrrr

Or I could try to fix the machine myself.

:crickets:

Uh huh

OR I could try to find a vendor to repair my old unit; not an easy task. I finally found a company called Lakeview Communications (www.digitalrecorder.com) in South Dakota that appeared to meet my needs. They claim to repair old Tivo units. I also found that if you buy a new machine of the same model from them, they will transfer your lifetime membership to the new box. COOL! They can also add additional hard drives to your unit that will drastically increase the amount of programming you can capture.

Long story short, my new 190 hour box arrived yesterday with my lifetime agreement intact. I couldn't be more pleased.

Check em out!
