I've never used reminders, ever. But it doesn't take much imagination to see how useful they can be to a lot of people.
You know that BGT is on at, say, 7:40pm. So you set it to record. You can then start watching the show, at 7:41 if you like, but I'd suggest 7:50pm when you can still take part in the voting but can still skips at least some ads

At least you won't miss the start like you would if you had only set a reminder but had then been distracted by - for example - a phone call, or someone at the door. What good has the reminder done you then 'cos you'd've completely missed the first 20 mins or whatever.
