Hi I thought I would join the debate and add my perspective.

It seems some people are unsettled by the fact that Tivo does things differently to V+ - but that is the whole point! Tivo can use the data available to give much more flexibility about series passes and better ensure all new episodes are captured. V+ would just dumbly record the same 'slots' every week. However it wouldn't, for example, recognise when a new series of that programme had started.

This is of course dependent on the data available being correct. I have the same issue with 'Click' as the BBC dont label the episodes correctly. However it is worth comparing the end result under V+ and Tivo! Major news events would often mean my V+ recording missed the show due to schedule changes. Tivo now provides me with multiple showings to choose from in the event of this happening and once I have viewed the programme I can delete all superfluous recordings with one 'click' by deleting the 'Click' folder.
