There is a global setting that for live events, if you enable it it will prompt you to extend the recording so you don't miss the end.

The V+ also kicks you off VoD when paused for a period of time.

Record series across channels so you get the episode whatever the channel but only one copy and if wanting New Only not just new to that channel.

That is exactly what a wishlist does I set up a wishlist to record Eurka so got the repeats of S3 on sky One and the new S4 episodes on Syfi.

They should however add a option to reorder a list by season and episode number. Also would be nice in a group if they put the oldest episode at the top of the list.

If there were some kind of PDC-like functionality where a channel could tell the TiVo that a programme has started or ended then I'd agree with you that they could both use the same tuner and intelligently switch from the first recording to the second, but it seems that's not an option right now.

Thank you, I was beginning to think I was the only one that thought this, why would I want to watch a show and then have to start another recording to see the end of it? Much rather it use two tuners for a few minutes.
