Me too (well, not the retired part). I bought my TiVo box 3.5 years ago and got the lifetime (ha!) subscription for $249. I for one really hope that TiVo's telephone download service hangs on by a thread for as long as possible. I am hopelessly addicted to DVR but refuse to upgrade my 13-y.o. TV, get a cable box, or pay for digital cable. The set-up I have now works great for my purposes and I cannot fathom the thought of the additional outlay for all that hardware and yet more monthly fees.

It's funny how I was a very early adopter on TiVo but will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the digital, plasma age.
