Yes the BBC One +1 channel I see as very beneficial for scheduling recordings in the busy evening period and like Old Boy, I tend to record whole series before watching them months later as we always have a backlog of favourite series and watch 2 or 3 of them concurrently at a time so other series wait; its my own personal "content on demand"!

For BBC series, you may also not actually get repeats while the main series is running so +1 helps you manage your recordings.

Even if episodes are repeated, I assume that for a series link, Tivo still only searches for repeats (when clashes occur) on the same channel, so if it cannot record a programme on BBC1, it will look for repeats of that programme on BBC1 only and not look at the new +1 as a different channel number. Tivo has the capability to look across channels as that is how wish lists work, it is a shame they do not apply this software coding to series links as well, especially with plenty of +1 channnels in place so I can be even more lazy in planning my recordings!
