Sorry MZ - Thanks for the link.

I just signed in to TIVO, and they have updated my account status, so I see
the lifetime offer for the S2 (and apparently someone at TIVO was actually
thinking as I no longer see the 2 and 3 year options).

They are currently out of stock on the Series 3, so it won't show the plan
options there. I will check back in a few days.

The only requirement is that you you have an existing subscription and are
therefore eligible for MSD.
All you have to do is sign in to your Tivo account and check the price plans
under 'buy Tivo'
It's all right there, not hidden or anything.
It's also listed as a subscription option when you click on 'activate or
upgrade tivo service'
