Do i need a subscription for TVIO ?

[GMichael]

I ask because i am considering purchasing the following.

PIONEER DVR-810H-S DVD PLAYER/RECORDER/TIVO 80GB

It says it is TVIO user interface but no subscription is required. I thought it was a subscritpion service?

Cheers

I am not a TIVO owner so I don't know for sure. But I believe there can be a one time purchase that gives you a lifetime subscription. Maybe something like this is included in the package you are looking at.
