I think that if you buy a TiVo, it will probably last for 5 years or so, barring accidents.
Useful info -- thanks!
but also requires enough setup and ongoing maintenance that it is not suitable *yet* for people who don't live in a house with a sysadmin.
Yeah, that was my impression. I'm sure I *could* build a suitable MythTV box, but I doubt I'm sufficiently motivated.
This also potentially plays into the lifetime-subscription question. Since it improves the resale value of the TiVo, it may make it easier to sell the thing if and when I decide that MythTV is good enough to replace it...
