OK Cozzy - how's about this. The recording engine in TiVO is intelligent. So you have a Sunday night conflict due to too many 'Season Passes'. Rather than just say 'no, I'm not recording that' like V+ does, TiVO will intelligently scan for other showings of that program, even checking for the SD version (if you allow it to) and reschedule accordingly. This would remove 100% of the recording conflicts at Maison TD and is one of the major reasons I'll be getting one as soon as they let me.
That, and the 1TB which I can fill with lovely inefficient MPEG2 HD
