That's right, when it doesn't fit your usage patterns it must be laziness.
You've been given several examples in the many threads you've participated in of how and when it would be useful, none of which involve laziness so stop pretending that you don't know why they're wanted by some users. Just because you're an old-school TiVo user you act as if you're personally offended when people want to deviate from the "pure" TiVo experience and quite frankly it's getting tiresome seeing you feign ignorance just for the sake of arguing.
