You will notice cancelling a reminder is a real debarcle

the real irony is that if you attempt to re-set the reminder (press OK) - the reminder dialogue box (which includes an option to 'cancel') pops up for a fraction of a second and disappears - leaving you to wonder how to cancel - which is sooooooooo deep set in the menu i can never remember where to find it

obviously programmed by an oaf (= some high school graduate project)

I am such a creature of habit though, I have relied on a pop up reminding me that Top Gear, Heroes, Battlestar Galactica etc. are about to start, I have not had to watch the time and I can just leave the TV on in the background and rely on IT to tell me I should be watching something !
My TV has me well programmed !!.

And you are definetly right about the intelligence level of those that designed and programmed the intrerface, it is a mess, you would have though some end-user-acceptance testing would have been done before release...
