But do we know that the way Tivo operates is actually compatible with a dynamic EPG? The EPG seems to be downloaded in a sort of batch mode, generally overnight - could it handle frequent real time changes, with knock on impacts on recording clashes, series links etc. etc. without impacting on performance?
Certainly the BCC in particular were up to their old tricks during Wimbledon swapping things between channels at short/no notice (for no good reason - evidently nobody these days has a BBC1 only 405 line BW set). But other than that, is it really such a problem?
