Surely the real reason it was problematic to include reminders (in the way people wanted them) was because the people who designed Tivo were designing a PVR and Reminders have no place in a true PVR world. People were asking for functionality that was alien and pointless to the initial concept. So not surprising they were difficult to implement in a cost effective manor.
