Why not? It's easy enough to delete when you're done with it.

My take on reminders is this, say tonight's football comes on at 7.30pm and Im intending to watch it live but happen to be catching up on some news , I can set a reminder which automatically alerts me that the football is about to start which I can select and it turns over for me and effectively stops me clock watching.
Or you could just set it to record and do exactly the same.

So what would happen if you're about to switch over to the footy and the phone rang? Or someone came to the door?
