So were there not alternative showings available for any of those three programmes?
(BTW, I'm not disputing your claims, I'm justing getting a feel for how the TiVo works in practice)

That is, indeed, what TiVo is all about.
This is what Joe Public needs to get their head round to understand the 'real-world' advantage of TiVo.

The padding isn't compulsory no. I have chosen to add two minutes at the beginning and end of each program. There's nothing more annoying than missing the final minutes of an episode of something!
When you set the recording it asks you how you want to deal with the clash, cut one programme at the end, the other at the beginning or not record it at all. Perhaps I will not add any padding and see if I keep missing bits from programmes.
