I don't feel like posting at TCF and I've tried searching, but am still confused. I might sell my S1 lifetimed tivo to a coworker, who just bought a new box at Christmas and is on the $20/month plan. If she added my box to her account, is there a discount?

I saw a thread about the new Fall 2006 pricing plan:

Q. What if I currently have only one box, but want to add a new TiVo box to my account?
A. This new second box will be billed under the new terms, which is at a $6.00 discount to your monthly bill. The base price changes depending on your commitment period. Again, in most cases, the new MSD pricing is either comparable or even favorable to the old pricing when you factor in the discounted cost of the box.

So it looks like there is a $6 discount...am I reading right? I just want to make sure.

She might be locked into a one-year contract paying $20 a month regardless of what other boxes she adds.

I think aindik is right -- but your friend will be eligible for a multi-service discount after her one-year contract is up.

At that point, she'll be able to elect to extend her service by one, two, or three additional years. If she adds your lifetime box, she'll pay $13.95 a month for a one year extension, $8.95 a month for a two year extension, or $6.95 a month for a three year extension. If she doesn't, she'll pay $6 more a month.
