Polls on this and other such forums? Those responding would be a self selecting sample and not representative of the customer base as a whole.

I personally don't know anyone who uses/ used reminders on V+

Then perhaps Andy you need to look a bit deeper as there are many who wanted reminders and alas we are finally going to get them.:)

I'm pleased for those that wanted them and can see that they can be useful as a way to automate channel changes for those that would struggle to do it for themselves.

However I do personally feel they are something wanted by a (vocal) minority rather than majority of customers.

I'm minded to agree with Carl and Andy, however, I think this is more about removing a block to TiVo for some stubborn v+ users that Virgin want to upgrade than it is about pacifying those that had already done so.

Exactly right, Andy.

I like reminders as sometimes I can forget a programme is on until it is well into it. So I use them to remind me at the start, or in most cases have them set to switch to channel at start.

A sentiment echoed by many Mark.

So as soon as you find out about a programme, set it to record; or set a wishlist if it's not available yet.

Which would work if I had a recording slot free, but normally the only time I use a reminder is when I have 2 things recording at the same time. Which is why Tivo would be a boost, being able to record 3 things and watch a fourth at the same time.
