It's not unreasonable to say the lifetime for an STB would be around 10 years, in which case withdrawing the lifetime sub would be easily justifiable.

For the s1 TiVo, the 'lifetime' was in fact defined as the lifetime of the actual TiVo unit that the sub is assigned to.
I had mine for a couple of years paying £10pm for the subs (unable to afford the lifetime-sub at the time of the original purchase).... then considered the lifetime-sub but decided not to as I envisaged the unit perhaps not lasting a further 20mths +
If I had a fully functioning s1 TiVo with lifetime-sub attached.... then I'd be a bit peeved too.
