The 'live' bit is a non argument. Even if it is recorded, you can watch it live. It will play as soon as it starts recording; to avoid even a potential miniscule delay, add some padding to the front of the recording, start watching slightly early and fast forward.

For that I have to agree set record.You can always look at what it is & treat that as your reminder. Have to say I like reminders but use the RED light as a work around, However get fed up with cancelling etc

Re: Reminders are here!
It may be that Virgin think the viewers that need reminders to watch something are so forgetful that they may forget to turn on the TV. This way at least it's recorded.

Re: Reminders are here!
What I was hoping for was a carbon copy of the V+ reminders complete with the automatic channel switch just as the programme is starting. This was something I used to find very useful before I switched to TiVo - for instance when I was in the kitchen preparing food and wanted to catch the start of the news. This implementation seems to miss the whole point. If I wanted to record something then I'd set it to record. I hope there's still time for VM to build this simple functionality into the feature before it's fully rolled out.

Re: Reminders are here!
According to other posts, TiVo does automatically switch channel?
Also remember the V+HD reminders were in the code BEFORE recording functions were available - which is why there were in there. So they are seperate to scheduling a recording.
TiVo was designed from the get-go to record things, so reminders have to work with recordings
I can see there ever being a remind only option on TiVo
