    TiVo and DVRs in general are slowly dying

    This is a tough predicament. Tivo seems to be a dying brand. That being said, it truly is the best DVR out there bar none. They do hold sales throughout the year that bring a purchase and lifetime subscription to under $500 (it could be $400 if I remember correctly). But that doesn't help...
