You cannot set a series link that has different padding for 2 separate editions
It is a lot of messing around to set padding for each show individually. It's far better to have a default setting.
Sky boxes drop the padding when you have clashes, and the V+HD box also does the same thing.
The TiVo box if it tries to drop the padding it goes too far and cuts off the last 2 mins of the first programme or the first 2 mins of the 2nd programme.

My V+ sometimes gets confused with padding and this causes a clash. Sometimes deleting and re-adding planned recordings resolves this, othet times a manual recording has to be used.
I was rather hoping that if I got a TiVo that this problem would be a thing of the past

The value of music channels to the platform has dropped considerably. As people use sites like You Tube or the VM on demand music service, viewing figures have tumbled.
The only way that I think we will get them is if they are provided to VM for free or dirt cheap.
This would help the music channels regain some lost viewers.
