Programme reminder on Tivo?
 
Does the Tivo box have a programme reminder similar to the V+ box:confused:

VM are aware that some customers want this legacy function and it will be added at some point. TiVo doesn't have it at all in the US.

Don't get peoples obsession with this reminder button. You've got a minimum hard drive of 500gb - if you want to watch it, record it!

I know people are impatient nowadays but surely you can wait 15 mins after the programme has started so you can watch it almost live and skip the adverts?

People like to watch sporting events live that is why they would like reminders on TiVo.

Spot on i am getting TiVo installed on the 18th jan,and would like reminders this feature probably would not cost a lot to incorporate,and if it makes it more usable for customers then that is only a good thing.:)

It's not really about cost, it's the time it will take to write the code in to the existing TiVo software... I'm sure they will be added, but I haven't used reminders since our PACE box was removed 5 years ago. :)

Why can't you record the sporting event? Red Light On = 'Oh aye, that's the build up starting for the match'.

You can't be that much of a fan of a team if you forget they are playing cos you are too busy flicking through the Tivo channels,

Hardly a great indicator is it , the red light comes on regularly when recording suggestions. It's easy to get sucked into something else while waiting for a game to start , why do people get so annoyed about people wanting this feature if there added you don't have to use them.
