Tend to agree. The main issue is that let's say you have 2 high priority series links start at 21:00 with 5mins padding and then a lower priority series link comes up at 22:00. On the V+ it would just drop the padding off one of the previous recordings. On Tivo it wont drop the padding so could miss the first 5 mins of the 22:00 show. If the Tivo automatically brings in the 3rd tuner after 1 minute then I guess at worst you lose the first minute of the 22:00 show. I guess you could always add a 1minute pad at the start to minimise that risk, but then I guess you may end up creating more overlaps. ??
We'll have to see how it works in practise... I found the V+ dealt with this very well and rarely had a problem with it. Hopefully with the 3 recordable tuners this wont come up very often though !
