Got the email a couple days ago; wasn't expecting it but I can't say I was shocked. Once they gave up on acquiring new customers (by halting hardware sales) it was I suppose inevitable that they would start trying to milk the existing customers for more money, especially the lifetime subscribers. Not me, though - as other commenters have noted the commercial skip feature only works some of the time so it's not worth paying for & nothing I'll particularly miss.

I'm still using a 15 year old TiVo Premier to record local channels after cutting the cord a couple years ago - that was the last TiVo I owned that could do OTA so I'm glad now that I hung onto it. As long as it keeps working I'll keep using it.

No doubt. I just have a pet peeve with huge lists like this. A lot of the value in coming up with a list is how & why you decide to either include a particular entry or leave it off. The longer the list gets, the more it appears that the author didn't put any hard thought into it, and the less value it has (for me anyway).

You know, if that number was smaller, I might actually click through & read the article. But 87? Really? A number that large makes me think that you just wrote down every single lame thing you could think of & didn't edit at all.

Personally, I'd prefer a much shorter list which someone made some effort to pare down to the moments that were genuinely the lamest.
