Ok, i was digging through some old stuff and found my dad's old Direct TV TiVo Tuner, model 4080r. It has a direct TV card in it, but are those like hotel room keys - only good when you're paying?
As you can tell, i have no idea how these things work and have never had Direct TV or cable. I remember hearing something a long time ago when he had this (maybe 5yrs?) that he had a 'lifetime' TiVo subscription attached to it. Of course, I have no use for it and wouldn't know how to access it anyway.
Anybody know what I should do with this thing? I probably can't give it to anybody, as the TiVo part is attached to my dad's name?
thanks
