You can also upgrade the hard drive to a larger one (if you don't mind voiding the warrenty). The 40 hour TiVO has a 40GB drive inside, but you can buy a standard computer 160GB drive for 80 bucks and add that as a 2nd drive, giving 5 times as much recording space.
You can also buy TiVos with built-in DVD recorders, if you think you might want to save the shows you record for posterity.
Another nice thing you can do is buy two TiVO boxes and connect them to your broadband network. Then you can record a show downstairs, and watch it upstairs (over the network).
I wouldn't recommend buying the lifetime subscription...a lot of cable companies are building TiVO-like services into their cable boxes right now, so eventually you'll get the service free (or at a reduced cost).
