I'm one of those people who likes to record an entire series of shows and watch them back to back once the series is complete. This, I thought, is what TiVo should excel at. However, the lack of a dynamic EPG means that my viewing in this way is sometimes sabotaged by overrunning or rescheduled programmes and there's no hope of going back to re-record the episode that TiVo has missed after weeks have elapsed. Very annoying.

If the lack of a dynamic EPG means that TiVo is incapable of moving the recording to match what is actually happening would it not be possible for the box to somehow be told that a show is likely to have been missed due to an overrun and to record it at the next available opportunity? For such a supposedly smart box of tricks it seems stupid sometimes.
