Transfer Tivo Lifetime Service to Tivo Series 3
Weakness has a reminder on its website that lifetime service transfers from DirecTV to Series3 TiVo are available. Tivo’s VIP web page says that users can transfer their lifetime service subscriptions from Series 1 and Series 2, over to Series 3 for only $199.
According to the Tivo web site, VIP users just need to buy a new Series 3 then call the VIP line at (866) 424-8486 to transfer service for the $199 price. Have your “TiVo Service Number” from both your new and old Tivo boxes handy.
Apparently this isn’t very well known, even among Tivo operators. Weakness says that if you get any resistance to try this: “…you might ask your operator to reference article 090717. That should give them the info they need to process the transfer.”
In order to qualify, the new Series 3 must be purchased by 12/31/06 to qualify although you have until 1/31/07 to complete the transfer.
