But so what? And how often would you even need to do this? I've never had the need, even during the golden age of TV dramas a few years ago when it was not unusual to have up to four or five programmes being shown at the same time that appealed to me.
I think these features tend to appeal to people who are more technically minded and want to mess around with the system I just use my box to watch the programmes.

But so what if there's a series record for programmes you don't want to see again? There's no limit on the system.

Does the 360 incorporate VOD like TiVo does? Can you search for a particular programme?

Seems you totally missed the point again.
Of course there is a limit, we just dont know what it is.

On Tivo the maximum it can show is 999, but it will accept more than this figure. Then, when you delete those no longer needed, it begins to show them in the 999 list.
As you say, there must be a finite limit, but we don't know what it is. Having more information stored than is necessary seems a bad idea to me as, if you remember when the first TiVo boxes started to go really slow, this was resolved by deleting all thumbs up/down entries. It stands to reason that such things must use up box resources and, as not being able to cancel series links that are no longer needed, means that the box will perpetually be looking for series that are never going to appear (or will when they aren't required).
