It surely must have a dynamic EPG?

Edit -It would appear that it dosen't have a dynamic EPG if the DS post is right.

I am genuinely gobsmacked if it's true.

There’s nothing worse than missing the
nail-biting finale of your favourite show,
or the kick-off of the big match you’ve
recorded. But the beauty of your new
TiVo box is that it’s got that covered.

Overlap Protection™
If you’re recording a few shows back to
back, but on different channels, you’ll want
to make sure that your TiVo box doesn’t
miss the start of one, or the end of another.
The Overlap Protection feature gives you
additional options for dealing with recording
clashes when they occur.

Recording with Overlap Protection™
If Overlap Protection is turned off, when
two shows overlap by a few minutes on
the same tuner, the lower priority recording
is cancelled. With Overlap Protection turned
on, your TiVo box cuts the lower priority
recording by a few minutes (up to 5) to
allow both shows to record.
For repeated recordings, Overlap Protection
uses the Manage My Series Links menu to
learn which shows have higher or lower
priorities. One-off recordings receive the
highest priority, while TiVo Suggestions
always have the lowest.
When you set a new recording, your
TiVo box will let you know of any recording
clashes and give you options to resolve
it, including cutting short the lower
priority show.
To get set up, go to the Home screen,
select Help & Settings, then Settings,
then Recordings, then Overlap Protection.

Extending live recordings
Live events like sport and awards
ceremonies often run over. But you can
use the Extend Live Recordings setting
so that your box will automatically ask you
whether you want to add extra time onto
your recording when these types of shows
are on

Looks to me that the overlap stuff is more about clashing recordings and the extending live is just that extending live recordings. So that doesn't mean there isn't a dynamic EPG.
