The V+ does not "handle" it though. The V+ only ever records the episode you specifically set it up to record. It's basically as dumb as a digital VCR. Hence it being a DVR; Digital Video Recorder.

Tivo is a PVR; Personal Video Recorder.

Do I stop watching Click, or delete 15 or so shows aweek from now on?
Neither. Do as I suggested and either specifically set one recording yourself manually or set up a repeating manual recording. In fact, another thought just occured. Set up a SL for Sunday AM showing on BBC1. There's only one a week of that version

You don't need to. "Click" is unique and, if you record the Sunday AM version on BBC1, a standard SL will do the job.

Also, there should be no problem using "new only" on UK programming. It's just some of the US imports that have the US OAD and not the UK one; therefore requiring use of "new and repeats".

And, mostly, it is. Nothing is ever perfect. But, hopefully, it will improve over time.

Not to mention..

Setting up recordings remotely
Recording 3 things at once
Etc etc etc

Why on earth would I worry about a very small number of duplicate recordings?
Exactly
