Re: TiVo

Man, if you can record 3 things at one time that would be awesome, I was seriously doubting whether or not I will get TiVo but with this bomshell I have done a complete 180

I assume that when all 3 tuners are in use the box will be forced to switch to one of them? Hopefully there will be some warning when setting recordings that Live TV won't be possible when recording 3 things at once.

The idea of having 4 tuners is a good one, something that would leverage an advantage that VM have over Sky.
I can understand where you are coming from but think about all those poor sky subscribers who only have two tuners that can both record. I love the 3 tuners as they work on V+ but if they could all record then that would be revolutionary IMO. Vary rarely do I need to record more than 3 things at the same time but it does happen, and It annoys the hell out of me.

I don't understand why you feel so strongly about this. I am a huge sport fan and I watch the apprentice, X-factor etc and I have never used reminders. I set all of the above to record via series link. THe, because it is an event I remind myself to watch it live. If I forget to remind myself I have a recording to watch when I sit down in front of the TV. The thing is, unless I am sitting down to watch something specific, I always start my viewing experiance by checking what is recording, I also check recordings page between every progromm I watch so the only reason I would miss something life that I want to watch live is if I have something else I really want to watch
