What a wonderful idea, I guess this deals with the one thing that I wouldn't like with a TiVo, being able to have reminders that don't record the programme too.

You're right Ben. This was an NTL initiative (along with the ability to have selectable, but bizarre, audio reminders of programme reminders).
From what I was told at the time, the ability to rearrange the channel order was dropped after complaints from channel owners (mainly Sky) that customers were not allowing themselves to be reminded of the existence and availability of unsubscribed channels because they were removing unsubscribed channels from their own personally created EPG.
Apparently, Sky were "concerned" that customers didn't lose out.
