Why will they?

They can reuse most of the code from scheduled recordings, they already prompt you to change channel if the tuner is needed for a recording, it's really not going to be that much work to repurpose the code to do reminders instead.

"From scratch" makes it sound like it's going to be some huge task when I'd say a good 90% of the code is already there. The box is already capable of having events set, firing off events at certain times and switching channels which is the hard part.
