I purchased my second TiVo via eBay in March of 2006 and it has served me very well. I transferred the "lifetime" service with a minimum of trouble, and except for Comcast problems, it still works very well. Most of the credit goes to the previous owner, who took good care of the box. I guess I was lucky. > I can buy a refurbished unit from TiVo for about $80 or a used one on > eBay for about $50, which one would you go with? Tough question .. refurbished should work perfectly, but then again, a well-maintained used unit could be just as perfect .. it's a crapshoot, and I got lucky. I hope you do, too. Dave S.
