However that does not mean that it is, for other people far better than the V+ . I just wish fanboys would accept that it is not quite right for some users.
I can completely understand your frustration, with any service you pay for, it's got to meet your own personal needs otherwise it's clearly not right for you. If red button and reminders are key to you then TiVo is probably not for you at present. The BBC red button apps for news and sport have now launched on TiVo although the sport one is limited at present but as with reminders, there is more "coming soon".

For me TiVo is excellent as the intuitive nature it records suggestions, automatically reschedules to avoid recording clashes, the 14 day EPG and larger HDD were the biggest draws.

Whilst we may not agree on TiVo we definitely agree that it is all about personal preference.
