And the point is that, as has already been pointed out, this option was simple not doable; though why I don't know.

I spent today at home, and enjoyed the new feature of being able to set various reminders to give me some background company..
Now that's just weird For 'background' I'd leave it on one channel or just listen to the radio.

but then I've just had to waste my precious time deleting all the unwanted recordings - mainly because as the Tivo is approx 85% full and default setting on 'normal' recordings is notkeep until I delete the Tivo will delete my older wanted recordings off it's own back before my unwanted reminder recordings. So Tivo is not saving me the one thing I never have enough of - time. How can this situation be a step forward Carl?
Because your way of using Tivo is, honestly, not one that I have ever heard of before and cannot be thought of as "normal use". Which makes it your problem, not Tivos.

Not exactly a "discussion" then, is it?

No point my wasting time replying then, so I will leave it there too.

Oh please I thought you were better than that, den.

People like your knowledge and help but I can't understand why you post using neither.
I help where I can but I'm also pretty sure I am allowed an opinion when I'm not actively helping

Reminders are here (implemented in the only way possible, apparently) and yet those who wanted the functionality are still complaining.
