Oh well. :) Its still a good deal to me. I bought the 80-hour Tivo at a local Best Buy and found out after I set everything up that the $70 rebate only applies to purchses on BestBuy.com. Oh well.

UNLESS you still have a commitment on the old one that is unfulfilled. Then I don't think you can take advantage of this without risking an early termination penalty, or forfeiting the rebate.

Has anyone been able to replace their existing TiVo with one of these and still get the rebate? I'd like to upgrade from our 40 hour, but this statement makes me think we're not eligible for the rebate. The $150 rebate terms say “Valid only for new service contracts.”.

We suspect the hard drive on our 160 hour is on its last leg and we didn't relish the thought of having to replace the hard drive ourselves. While an 80-hour will be a step down, it's better than nothing and it's free! We just bought our first home so the thought of spending any more money on anything, even something as essential as TiVo makes me a little weak in the knees. Thanks so much for the heads up!

I think I'll go buy this one and replace my current 40 hour series 2 and keep the 40 hour as a spare. :) Thanks for the heads up.
