Assuming DVRs (and TiVo in particular) are designed in such a way to make live viewing of programming completely unnecessary is ignoring how a significant number of people watch TV.

Agreed, especially these days when its hard not to be 'spoiled' about live events such as scores in football games; who got kicked off The Apprentice etc.
TiVo is the only UK PVR I know of
without reminder functionality, and nothing in TiVo's feature set will compensate for that, no matter how people spin it. I can see this becoming more of an issue as people get TiVoed and go looking for that functionality which they've had for years on V+ HD/Sky +
