Don't limit the availability of three recordable tuners, when the solution to your problem is a simple one.
Well, given that I don't start viewing until about 8.30 pm and the three tuners are normally in use between 9 and 11 pm, this doesn't work for me. The three tuners are used because they are recording programmes I want to see and so limiting my recordings is not really what I want to do.

Your plan would cause more problems than you want it to solve.


Have you thought of looking at your planned recordings list before starting to watch an OD show?
I was talking about the new TiVo. I appreciate that two tuners would be worse than what we have now, but if we had 6, with one of them reserved for on demand, that would work for me.
