So what will happen if you have three shows scheduled to record at the same time, and one show scheduled to finish immediately before that overruns? The show of the three with the lowest priority is cancelled? What if it has no repeat?

If they're going to implement this then they either need to allow the option to turn it off, or find a way to get TiVo to make a decision about which recording clashes to cancel that isn't based solely on series link priority.

Can't edit the above but I expect Sky Sports 3, 4 and F1 HD to launch imminently on Virgin Media. I expect this to be in the measure of hours and days not weeks and months.

have got my fingers crossed any way

An example of the current (in my opinion) outdated recording system on Tivo:

Once on a Saturday a major sporting event ran on much longer than expected so the scheduled episode of Casualty was postponed. Tivo recorded 50 minutes of sport when Casualty was scheduled.

Casualty was rescheduled several days later . . . but Tivo failed to record it because it thought it already had.

I have encountered several similar incidents.

I hope they bring out the Dynamic Programme Guide soon. A serious omission in my view on a box that claims to be so marvellous.

I've seen info to suggest Sky will possibly introduce some new bundles/offers , the money saving expert website has 50% off Sky packages available and it says the following

"Plus Sky's cutting newbies' TV & b'band bundle prices from Fri, so it's a double whammy".

Maybe they'll launch the sports HD channels on VM just after releasing these offers , just a thought.

Given the development of the TiVo software since Virgin have had it, who here seriously has faith that they will be able to implement this properly?

The current system is, I suspect, perfectly acceptable for most people. I haven't yet missed an episode of The Americans, despite the overrunning of the FA Cup and Champions League finals, because I added padding. I know it's not the most elegant solution, but it's a hell of a lot better than losing recordings in the scenario outlined above - this will happen and people won't even know why.
