Philips DSR6000R DIRECTV Receiver with TiVo Service
beware Tivo lifetime service subscription
I purchased a DSR6000R to replace my older 30 hour standalone Philips Tivo that failed after about twenty months of use (it was somewhat flakey over the last few months and then completely died).  I had purchased a lifetime subscription from Tivo and fully expected to be able to transfer it over to the new receiver.  I was informed that this was not possible and that I would have to return the original Tivo to Philips for service or replacement.  As I had thrown away the old one, this was impossible, but they still would not allow me to switch over my subscription.  In retrospect, I presume they expect most of their lifetime subscriptions to expire with the original equipment.  Decided to return my new Tivo and try UltimateTV instead.
