If any of those boxes are series 1 boxes, they may have the Grandfather clause in the policy which allows you to transfer your lifetime membership to 1 device free of charge if lifetime service was purchased prior to January 2000.

Also, $199 extra doesn't seem like a bad deal compared to paying $12.95/mo for service. It only takes a year and 4 months to come out ahead on that deal, and I plan on having it significantly longer than that.
