What to do with an obsolete TiVo Series 2 DVR?
I have an old TiVo Series 2 single tuner analog-only no CableCard standard definition DVR with the lifetime subscription. As Comcast migrates more and more channels from analog to digital, the TiVo is able to tune fewer and fewer channels. Aside from that, the TiVo is in perfect condition and has no issues, but it's a big bulky box taking up space better consumed by a Comcast HD DVR. What on earth can I do with the TiVo other than recycle it?
They sell for about $150 on e-bay. The important part is the lifetime service, it wouldn't be worth much without it.
They are still useful for:
-analog cable
-digital cable by controling a cable box with IR blaster
-single tuner ones can control a converter box for over the air use. I have one connected to a Zenith converter and an antenna
-if connected to high speed internet they can download some video, both free stuff and paid rentals
I imagine that you could sell it (for less) on craigslist.com if you don't want to bother with ebay.
