Lazy coding and design IMHO.
No, it's a limitation of the current software, not VM being lazy. You should know what package you are on.

Sorry I was laying this at the feet of VM, Believe me I am very understanding of the situation VM are in with the reliance on a 3rd party's implementation and not fitting with their use. However having a menu system for a device that that will deal with multiple differing packages and not allowing for superscedance / inheritance is either very bad system design or lazy (corner cutting) coding.

But then this is tivo's first attempt at using their system as a tailored product, and that completely changes the design rules.
