5 minuets was probably more than necessary, but that's where V+ excelled in padding functionlity, it caught the odd show that needed it but didn't affect back to back shows.

I know we're all meant to bow down to the "Great TIVO", but not acknowledging that V+ did some things better, is just wrong in my view. You can still say that overall, TIVO is a far superior product (which I think is the case) whilst admitting that V+ did some things better (upcaling SD is possibly another one).
