But if you intend you watch it and it starts in say ten mins you shouldn't be forgetting about it

I've set up my mobile to record The Simpsons at 6.30pm, will let you know if it works. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Apollo mobile and just added a shortcut to the site on my main screen
Not had any success doing the same with my iPod Touch so far

Even when I had my V+ I never ever used the reminder feature. Last time I set one was back when I still had a Pace STB!

A "left over" which i (and many more it seems) used today and will do tomorrow.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
That certain satellite company still have Press Select to set reminder or R to record on their latest HD software so they must have enough customers who also find it a handy feature.

No. It's because not all their customers have the recording facilities of a Sky+

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Can I just say that I have never had to use reminders when I had a V+ or even now when I have got the TIVO.
The only reminder that I need is my partner as she has nearly every days TV viewing mapped out and the only thing i need to focus on is the sport when i need to watch it

That is what a forum is for , if everybody stayed silent how would VM and TIVO know what the customer wants , however I do agree it wouldn't be a major issue to include the feature , as you say those who want it could use it and the rest just leave alone.
