V+, like TiVo, had three tuners but one was reserved for Live TV, making a Remind function straightforward.

TiVo records on all three tuners and hence the (better) implementation of (Record and) Remind.

As you say, you simply don't understand it.

I don't get what you mean by that; it makes no sense to me. Whether you are recording, or just reminding without recording, Tivo would still need to allocate a tuner for that show.

And one of the most requested features that I saw on forums was to make the third tuner on the V+ recordable.

I do agree with you it would be great to place the channels in the order we want.
I rarely use the reminder function, but does it not give you the option to cancel the recording when it reminds you the program is about to begin?

I'm not so bothered about Sky News HD now since BBC News HD launched. If Sky don't want me to watch their news channel in HD then fine.

Only place I saw it was in the old ntl non-recordable boxes
that is correct but it was still a great loss when we no longer had that functionality

Celebrating the pending launch of Boxnation HD

Seeing SKY News HD and SKY Sports News HD are on UPC in Ireland, I can see no good reason why SKY wouldn't allow Virgin access.

Agreed can't see why we can't have it by sometime next year.
