I haven't heard much about tivo lately with every cable company coming out with DVR? In your opinion, is TIVO dead, or going to die pretty soon?

I loved tivo and completely hate and loathe my cable company's dvr (wtf, I can't even access shows recorded on it when my cable is down :|)... but my cable dvr is free, whereas the tivo box requires a substantial chunk of change just to buy followed by required monthly payments just to be able to use it.
I wish more cable companies would rent out tivos instead of their own craptastic dvrs.

my parents DVR (a motorola cable box) worked great. We also didn't have cable go down, unless the entire city was in a black out, then it took awhile to come back online (think back to East Coast Power Grid failure, last time our cable went out).

Lifetime Tivo FTW. Now hopefully this damn thing keeps working for years to come.

I'm guessing you have the toshiba 400 something. If so have you made a image of your hard drive? If so, how'd you do it?

My Tivo is a series 2 and I have the lifetime subscription thingy. My hard drive has died. I used the instructions here:

to put in a bigger drive. When it died, I replaced it with another bigger drive. The link above has instructions for an image, and I've got my original small Tivo drive stashed away as backup #2.
