Am sure that VM would have got rid of reminders back when the TV Drive/V+ was introduced if it could. It was an old feature from before PVRs and that is why TiVo has never had the feature before.

.

Reminders on V+ are valid in my view and needed. This is because not all three tuners record on V+.

They only become unessesary when all tuners record, as with Tivo.

Yes i think you are right it will not be a priority for VM to introduce it.

It is so much more convienient to have one product one solution then to have to remember to put a reminder on a calendar or sit in front of the TV before the programme starts.

And lets face it TiVo has been sold on convienience.:)

XTV DVR technology still see it as important and their DVR software is in some 40 million homes with big customers such as Sky , Sky Italia , Foxtel IQ , Viasat to name just a few.
