Re: Reminders
You are joking?
I thought Tivo was state of the art? I have a almost 8 year old Sky+ box that has the reminder functionality.

Im amazed at this also! Was one of the most well used functions on my v+ box. Hope they manage to find out how to add it soon.

You don't.
Because all three tuners record, you set a recording rather than a reminder.
On V+, reminders were inportant because only 2 out of the 3 tuners recorded. Because tivo records on all 3 tuners, reminders are redundant on Tivo.

VM are trying to add them for people who like to still live in the Dark Ages

If you substitute, 'technological' for 'intellectual', you're kinda there!

Re: Reminders
TiVo doesn't have reminders as they have not seen a need for them, however with some VM customers requesting them they are looking to see if they can be added at some point.
