Reminders made sense on the V+ box, because although it had 3 tuners, only two of them recorded. You could use the reminder on the third tuner to avoid missing the show. When you record everything, you never miss a show.

I'm sure things seem different to what you're used to, and some you just won't like. But also look at a few great things that the Sky box doesn't offer, which I find almost essential now:

Whishlists: Set a recording for any show you want, even though it's not on the EPG or doesn't air for several months in the future. Set a Whishlist for any actor, Director etc. or any keyword; it even picks these up if it's on a radio channel.

Automatic resolution of recording clashes.

Series links don't expire (though Sky may have introduced that recently)

Other, non essential but extra functionality are

Suggestions; it automatically records shows Tivo thinks that you may like based on recording history and what you thumb up or down.

Full series, season and episode info, with the ability to set up a recording or Whishlist directly from that.

Direct link to youtube for a show that you may be interested in

Netflix app

l know you don't understand the need for reminders PB but in our household we do.
