In my opinion, the lack of real time updating of programmes is a very major drawback on Tivo. Last Saturday 55 minutes of tennis was recorded when Casualty was due. When that episode is finally broadcast, will Tivo record it or will it think it has already recorded it so not bother?

Apparently this is to be rectified but even VM say this will be a long time in the future. I do not see how it can be called advanced without a real time programme guide.
