I saw a post a while back making a similar case such as the one you make for your wife and understand it,

But wouldn't it be just as easy to set recordings up for everything and just access them from My Shows? Especially as I'm sure many of them are series, so the recording only has to be set up once.

I seem to remember a discussion a good while back that said that they do auto switch to the reminded channel on Tivo, but as I don't use them, I can't say for sure.

Tivo was never designed with reminders in mind; they weren't considered necessary on a PVR where all three tuners were able to record. VM listened to those who wanted them and I think made a good job of including them in a software concept that was alien to Reminders, even though they don't work exactly like they do on the V+.
