I can’t guarantee this tip will work for everyone, but it just worked for me. I now have two Tivo units at home and since one of them can be used with Basic service, I decided to call and cancel Tivo+ service on it and leave the Tivo+ service on the other. The customer service dude said if I wanted, he’d drop the price of each to $6.95/mo. if I didn’t cancel. So instead of paying $12.95/mo. for one box, it’s $13.95 for two? Um, OK.
Give it a try. Call them and say you want to cancel service on one of the boxes and maybe tell them you’d keep it if the cost was lower, but don’t let them get away with more than $6.95/mo. on each, since it’s obvious they’ll do it.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
You had good luck on the fee change.
I simply decided to use MythTV at http://mythtv.org on my Linux box. More control, better commercial flagging.
