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 +
Reminders only work if you're sat in front of the TV watching something. As the Tivo will record it, rather than switch channel for you, what is the problem? You can watch a recording delayed by the few seconds it takes you to access it just as well as the live TV.

The setup time for recording will often be less because you set it once for a series link; you set reminders for everytime a show is on the TV and you may forget to set the reminder; once a series link is set, Tivo never forgets.
