Agreed, it's not a perfect implementation of a reminder system, but it does provide the auto switching that was the main point people made in regard to wanting reminders.

Presumably, it was because Tivo was never designed to have reminders that this compromise implementation happened? I'm sure they could have got it to not record the reminder, but that would have cost even more development time and money.

Yes, but we all resist changing our established ways of operating, even when the new way is better.

The V+ did need a reminder function because one of the 3 channels didn't record. People have been asking for years for the V+ to make all it's 3 tuners record, rather than just 2 out of 3. Tivo did that, and eliminated the need for reminders.
