It's kind of been covered before, I'd purchased a wifi adapter for my inlaws tivo, worked great, except that when they went on vacation, they turned off the router... leaving tivo with no way to get home. Some people like my folks turn off the modem every night.
Or, you got screwed like I did. When I got my HD box, I was responding to an offer to transfer my lifetime service from my S1 box, I would get 12 months of service on the old box as part of the deal. Wonderful, I signed up. After my HD box was up and active, it said "account in good standing", and the S1 box still said "lifetime service". I called and asked and they told me after 12 months, it would transfer. 13 months later, I noticed that the old box was still working, and that I was now paying by the month for the HD box. I called Tivo, and at first they gave me the run around, "that offer didn't apply to your old box", and "we have no record of this". I argued my point a bit, and they took care of me in the end, but not without some stress on my part.
