As I understand it a Dynamic EPG would be a complete change to the core way of how TiVo gets EPG updates.
I'm not saying it wouldn't be possible, but it makes sense to set your priority in order of how easy it is to do.

As I understand it (and this may be wrong as I am basing it on my mucking around on a hacked Series 1), it would be a massive change to the way that the Tivo (and not just Tivo on VM) software operates. As such, even assuming that VM did want to offer it, they would still need to be in a position to persude Tivo it's a good idea. Tivo may be unwilling as their software operates boxes for a *lot* of companies, all of whom would be affected it.
Even if it does happen, it's not going to happen quickly.
Personally, reminders don't bother me. I've only ever used them to find out how they work. Never set one up to remind me to watch a program..
