End of $49 discount subscriptions?

I got an email from IceTV today on a discount 12 month subscription - $70, rather than the more generous $49 that has been offered in the past. Is this the end of $49 discount subscriptions?

I thought they were offering lifetime subscriptions for $99?? That's a tad over $49 for each of two years.

Being a cautious type and beset by advancing years I thought I might wait a little longer to see if Ice is likely to outlive me!

Lifetime subscriptions are only available when you buy a Humax through IceTV (and not for other makers), only work on Humax PVRs, and "lifetime" means "the working lifetime of the device or 5 years whichever is the lesser." Good deal if you can get one, though.

Here, "lifetime" doesn't mean your lifetime

Thanks but the Topfield and Beyonwiz will provide sufficient headaches for my lifetime.

If you really can't wait another four years you might be tempted by their $70 offer. Full marks for hutzpa.

I've got 2+ years paid up at $49/year to wait for a good renewal deal. I'm not sure what you mean about chutzpah, though.

The remark is directed towards Ice's offer, not you (lest I be misinterpreted).

I only have 1+ years paid up, but they usually get more generous around Fathers Day and Christmas.

Ah. I couldn't work out who it was directed at
