HI,
My question is how I can tell if my Tivo unit has been activated with Lifetime service. I bought it used about 8 months ago. The seller had bought it from someojne else. He sold it as unactivated. However, after hooking it up, it worked. I assumed it was jsut for a short grace period. However, the grace period never ended and it has been going strong for the past 8 months or so. I jsut assumed that there had been a mix-up along the way and a prior owner had paid for the lifetime service. Anyway, I got a Tivo update the other day saying that I msut go to Tivo.com to activate the unit since the grace period is ending. How could the grace period have lasted for over 8 months? Is there a way to find out if the unit has lifetime service already activated? I don't want to pay the fee if someone already paid it!
Thanks,
allan
