Tivo Question!

[aphex]

If my mother in law wants to upgrade her old box (series 1 - 40 hour) to a newer one (series 2 - 80 hour dual tuner), can she just pick up the one at BigLots for $70 and call to change it over?

She's on a $6.95/mo retention plan.

On the website, you can transfer service. I used that when one of my series 2 tivos died, and I bought another. I don't know if it works when changing between different series. The website says:

You can change your TiVo Service Number online if either of these situations apply:

* You activated your DVR and then exchanged it through your retailer or through the manufacturer and now need to update the TiVo Service Number on your account
* You need to correct the TiVo Service Number that you initially activated
