TiVo Roamio Deal: Plus with Lifetime for $500?

Supposedly a small subset of long-term TiVo customers have been offered quite the amazing deal:

• Base Roamio w/lifetime service $200 for the unit and $200 for the lifetime service
• Plus – $400 for the unit and $100 for lifetime service
• Pro – $600 for the unit and $100 for lifetime service

The catch is that it’s not quite clear who is eligible, with some believing ten years of TiVo service may meet the threshold. I’m fairly certain I’ve got more than ten consecutive years in the can, but I’ve cycled through a number of devices… including a brief stint with Roamio, which might explain why I didn’t receive any outreach. But, if you’re ready for an upgrade, it’s at least worth making a call into TiVo (877-494-4567) to determine if you qualify. Especially since TiVo’s “holiday deals” haven’t (yet?) been very compelling – not even coming close to “summer sale” pricing.
