Whishlist are brilliant for what they do, but for ongoing shows, a series link is better in my view and including +1 channels in conflict searches can only help.

I don't know much anout the US TV broadcasters, but do they have +1 channels? If not, that's maybe why a pretty obvious inclusion of them was ommited from Tivo?
although I strongly agree with Carl's point on wishlists being much more powerful than series links, I think he's missing the point of how +1 channels should be included as alternatives for the non+1 version of the channel, as it would give TiVo more scope for resolving clashes.

In fact I'd go further and say it's unintuitive not to use the +1 channels as alternatives.
