Just as a data point, I bought a Replay TV about 3 months before SonicBlue went under and Denon bought them up. I had purchased a lifetime subscription for my unit, and Denon has honored that agreement. So, it's definitely a variable, but it just depends on who picks up the company, and how much they want to piss off / not piss off their user base.
