Before the V+ was around reminders were the only way to ensure you didn't miss a programme. Now we have multiple tuners and a large hard drive they really aren't needed. Also if its a show or event that you really want to see you shouldn't be forgetting about it just before it starts

If you desperately need a reminder that the news is on at 6 then there is something wrong :P its on that time everyday lol. However you could always set an alarm or calender reminder on your mobile phone?
Good to see someone else understands what I mean

No you're not. Just set it to record instead

Watching live TV completely negates the need for a DVR. Why spend £150-200 on something that you don't need if you still want to sit down when the schedulers tell you that "Corrie" is on
