Doing something simple just seems to be beyond the capability of Tivo developers or is the software code that restrictive? I hope not for the future and this is just the initial test release.
I refer you back to my previous post

Also remember the V+HD reminders were in the code BEFORE recording functions were available - which is why there were in there. So they are seperate to scheduling a recording.

TiVo was designed from the get-go to record things, so reminders have to work with recordings

I can see there ever being a remind only option on TiVo
Although that should be 'can't' not 'can'
