The more granular you allow things to be changed, the more you have to test and the more you risk things breaking.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't be able to change anything, but some things have to be considered 'core' functionality

We're only talking about being able to change your own padding defaults and the ability to turn step back after fast forward on and off, not full control over the whole box. I accept your point about too much user control, but that's not what the majority of people want, just some limited control over the niggly little things that won't affect the way Tivo works but will improve the end user experience immeasurably.
Tivo is a brilliant product, but you're letting it and yourselves down when people are actively avoiding it simply because they want to be able to be in control of their own series links. I mean seriously, who allowed the current solution to express series links to go out? That should never have left the office. Even if I could live with the default padding, I still have to set up series links manually because I deliberately got myself a stb which was capable of storing more than 10 episodes of a particular show and has enough storage to mean I can keep then almost indefinitely without encountering issues. Poor.
