I wanted to "PAY IT FORWARD" so here goes.....Mods, If this isn't OK to do please let me know.

BIG JIM IS THE WINNER!

My wife works at Tivo and was given a brand spanking new (still in the box) TiVo Premiere XL4 (four tuner) model. Sorry no service. It has:

4 tuners to record 4 shows at once
Up to 300 HD hours
TiVo® Glo backlit remote
Supports digital channels only
THX® Certified for sound & video



Here is a product link (http://www.tivo.com/products/tivo-premiere/?WT.ac=tivhomemarquee_p4_img)

Here is a c|net review of the Premier XL4

http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-video-recorders-dvrs/tivo-premiere-xl4/4505-6474_7-35123272.html

I'd like to offer it to the highest bidder! The winning bid will be donated to BigJim's Leukemia/Lymphoma charity!

So let the bidding begin. You can either reply with your bid here or PM me (if you want it confidential). I will use the post/PM time as the "official" entry. I will update the 1st page of this post with the highest bidder. Bidding will close 10/14 at 9pm!

Jim, Let me know if any of the details need to be changed...I wanted to surprise you with this post!

Too bad TiVo doesn't allow you to transfer the lifetime service from one box to another...or do they?  Otherwise I'd be all over this.

I have the Tivo Premier with 2 tuners.

I used to work for TiVo a few years ago, I think I may have worked with your wife a couple of times.
