The post above mine by ozsat confirms that it is possible:

If I'd seen that first I wouldn't have posted.
The point is though, the majority of my posts are based on fact, not vague/speculative/hearsay/inaccurate information like HD Boy.

Why would they even need them?! Like most networks, their shows get repeated across the range of channels all the time, often within a day or two (or less) of their original airing. Even without On Demand or PVRs, if you can find your way around a copy of TV Guide you'll do fine.

Great point. And the TiVo makes it so easy to check for alternate air dates, and better still, notice when an overlap occurs and record another showing instead.

The reason I got TiVo in the first place was I couldn't deal with the annoyances of linear TV (I think you've coined a phrase there, by the way) any more. I'd been spoiled by having a large collection of media on tap on my NAS PC running XBMC without even the need to put the original DVDs in and deal with the menus etc.
Though I wouldn't agree VM TiVo is the best way to watch TV (my PC rig still beats it), it's a massive shove in the right direction.
