Reminders is a perfectly sensible feature to be implemented on Tivo, it is popular with some users so it is a simple case of VM implementation different methods of viewing TV on their leading product. Those who don’t want it can just not use it, simple! It is certainly not a legacy feature and is just another way of viewing channels when you want. Recording has the limitation of 3 tuners and so 3 channels, so if you want to keep a tuner free and use reminders to change channels across the remaining 100+ channels for particular programmes if you happen to be busy around you house, then it seems a useful approach to me.

I have only ever used reminders once when I had my V+ box so it is not a particular feature I need myself, but I can understand why others may want it.

I feel some people around here need to understand people have different methods for watching TV!
