But honestly, if you love TiVo and have multiple TVs in your house, it really is cost-effective to purchase a second box.<\/p>\n<p>If you have DIRECTV, you might already know that DIRECTV does NOT charge an additional TiVo service fee for two (or more) units. You do pay $5\/mo for the \u201cmirroring charge\u201d (adding an additional access card), but unlike with standalone units, you don\u2019t pay an additional TiVo service fee.<\/p>\n<p>If you have cable, DISH network or a run-of-the-mill antenna, TiVo charges only $6.95\/month for additional units in your home, as compared with $12.95\/mo or $299\/lifetime for the first unit.<\/p>\n<p>There are currently some big rebates in effect (up to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.directv.com\/dvrrebate\">$200<\/a> for DIRECTV, expiring 2\/28\/06 and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tivo.com\/rebate\">$150<\/a> for standalone TiVos, expiring 2\/28\/06), which make it particularly reasonable to purchase a second unit. Also, if you have DIRECTV and love your DIRECTV DVR with TiVo, the TiVo\/DIRECTV receivers are quite scarce and are moving very fast\u2026so if you wait, you may not see one again.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, if you have DIRECTV, until 2\/28\/06 DIRECTV will install the new unit, AND relocate an existing receiver (including a DIRECTV DVR) for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weaknees.com\/dtv_promo.php\">only $99<\/a>, including the hardware that you need to make it happen! Hard to beat that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok\u2014we\u2019re hugely biased. We live, breathe and pay for the kids\u2019 educations with TiVo.
