Is this an approach that would work for you instead of setting series reminders?

I tend to never get around to watching recorded stuff, it sits there for ages then i delete it because i forget what it was about.
The main reasons for missing the autoview is that we tend to allow our toddler to have what she wants on then it switches over when our programmes start so we don't have to clock watch all the time to manualy change over. The other thing is we may end up just chanel hopping, watching a bit of trash TV on some obsure chanel, but thet it lets us know 'Heroes' ( for example ) is about to start and we have the choice to continue watching what we're in the middle of or switching over to 'Heroes'.
This may seem a little alien to the croud on this forum as you all seem to be recording junkies, but I like to watch tv at a set time, it is a routine my wife and I enjoy.
I guess if I had just switched from 10 years of virgin to sky I may not see the point in the autoview function, but comming the other way around it it a distinct omission.
Thanks for your feedback and ideas though chaps .
