Lifetime TiVo membership price to go up. If you’re like me, you might have won a TiVo last October and signed up for the monthly service charge instead of a lifetime membership because you wanted to test out the technology first. And, if you’re like me, you might have been lazy and never have gotten around to switching to the $199 lifetime membership. Well, now is the time to act, because on May 1st the lifetime membership price is going up to $249.
