I agree the third tuner will reduce the number of times it happens, but I only record thngs I want to watch, usually brand new episodes of a series, so I don't set priority recording; they are all equal priority to me.

Since this issue has come to light, I've been keeping an eye on programmes that V+ has had to remove padding from, and all have recoded with nothing missing. I'll keep monitoring, but ATM, I'm thinking of not adding any padding to recordings on TIVO (when I get it) as I think no padding would probably cause less problems. So, I don't want forced padding imposed on TIVO.
