We are recent TiVo converts and are enjoying all the features, especially transferring recordings among our 3 TiVos. I'd like to add another box but only for the purpose of viewing previously recorded programs. I do not need to record anything on this box - just transfer.

I understand that I would have to activate this 4th box and pay the monthly subscription, but I'd like to know if there is a workaround for this problem. I can't justify paying a 4th subscription, even though the 2nd and 3rd boxes are at a reduced rate. Has anyone been successful in accomplishing what we'd like to do?

Thanks.
