I'm very sceptical about him tbh, just asked my source about Skysports hd and they said "will be here before new football season starts" hope Sirius is right but as i said i'm scepitcal about him.

If they're going to implement this then they either need to allow the option to turn it off, or find a way to get TiVo to make a decision about which recording clashes to cancel that isn't based solely on series link priority.

Given the development of the TiVo software since Virgin have had it, who here seriously has faith that they will be able to implement this properly?

The current system is, I suspect, perfectly acceptable for most people. I haven't yet missed an episode of The Americans, despite the overrunning of the FA Cup and Champions League finals, because I added padding. I know it's not the most elegant solution, but it's a hell of a lot better than losing recordings in the scenario outlined above - this will happen and people won't even know why.
A perfect example of why i think a dynamic epg is needed is the fa cup final ran into extra time. Instead of getting Britain's got talent recorded i ended up with Adrian Giles yapping for ages and most of BGT got cut off from the recording.
