I usually set a padding of 2 mins at the start and end of a series link and for some one off shows I tend not to add padding at all.

No arguments there; in that aspect tivo is a big advantage over the V+. It's a shame that bit of TIVO couldn't be combined with the V+ padding features, but as Stephen says, this is a TIVO, and I sense the chances of V+ type padding being added are extreemly remote, even though it is a more sensible method

I hope you're right and in practice, and there won't be a problem; the third tuner will definitely help. The days of my 5 minutes before and after padding are probably over though...
