VM are aware that some customers want this legacy function and it will be added at some point. TiVo doesn't have it at all in the US.

Re: Programme reminder on Tivo?
Don't get peoples obsession with this reminder button. You've got a minimum hard drive of 500gb - if you want to watch it, record it!
I know people are impatient nowadays but surely you can wait 15 mins after the programme has started so you can watch it almost live and skip the adverts?

People like to watch sporting events live that is why they would like reminders on TiVo.

It's not really about cost, it's the time it will take to write the code in to the existing TiVo software... I'm sure they will be added, but I haven't used reminders since our PACE box was removed 5 years ago.

Merry chritsmas by the way. 
And many thanks to all the VM employees who help on the forum i am sure at times you think why bother!  But despite differences of opinion at times,! i am sure all on here appreciate the effort made to help.

Why can't you record the sporting event? Red Light On = 'Oh aye, that's the build up starting for the match'.
You can't be that much of a fan of a team if you forget they are playing cos you are too busy flicking through the Tivo channels,

Hardly a great indicator is it , the red light comes on regularly when recording suggestions. It's easy to get sucked into something else while waiting for a game to start , why do people get so annoyed about people wanting this feature if there added you don't have to use them.
