I'm sure TIVO listen to VM customers needs and work hard with VM to tweak things , dont forget VM customers represent over 25% of TIVOs entire worldwide subscriber base.

Re: Reminders are here!
I'm not sure what the problem is?
If you set a reminder and aren't about to see it you end up with the programe being recorded. If you are you hit the button to change channel, if you don't want it recorded hit the record button. What's wrong with that?

From what has been said, Reminders as implemented, change to a channel when the selected show starts. That sounds like a reminder function working to me.
Having to also delete the show is not ideal (for reminder purists). But that isn't what you said. The function that you said doesn't work, does in fact work.

But it could have O so, much more simple. If I want to record I will set to record.
If I want reminding to get a pint of milk. How about the shop saying you did not come so we have brought it to you ( daft I know but its the best I can think of at the moment)

Nothing but as usual the doomsayers are having another episode based on what they are not happy with but if they said any different that would be a pleasant surprise based on our experiences of them so far.

I suppose, but in the case you say with the milk/shop, if I didn't remember/couldn't go I would want them to bring me a pint, that's handy!!

It is how ever sooooooo unnecessary, pointless & irritating.
Not forgetting that whist it may show on the TiVo that may not be the method by which to see it ( However that is not really their concern ) Or even down to in, our house simply going to another room to see that show on the V+.
It just seems that it has been made unnecessarily complicated. That said I am sure that any reminder is better ( for me) than none at all. I guess its a case of careful what you wish for.

I thought people who wanted reminders didn't want to press any extra buttons though?

No we just wanted reminders whatever shape or form they came in.

Try Home->Interactive->Games. There are far more there than on TiVo.

That's actually a great analogy. With TiVo, when the delivery man turns up at your door, you have the option of drinking the milk now, sticking it in the fridge, or turning him away.
What you seem to want is to miss the knock at the door, then get up the next day to find the fridge empty.
