It was quite a downer really as the Tivo seemed amazing and I was getting really excited about it then shocked to find out a feature like that would be missing? Surely quite a few people would have used that and wanted it?
Someone from VM posted on the VM forum as follows:
"As far as I know we were not anticipating the huge demand for the reminder option on the TiVo box however our engineers are now looking into this and seeing if it can be added in."
I just called 150 and went through to the installations team and asked them about it and the guy I spoke to wasn't aware of it and was also surprised that Tivo didn't have reminders, reported it to his supervisor and filled in a feedback form for me.
I'm really hoping it wouldn't be difficult for them to add it in and it might be possible...
He also suggested sending a complaint form in for 'other' to highlight it. If I can get any confirmation it would be included I would be happy to sit tight and wait a little while. I really just need to know whether or not it will be implemented as I could return the Tivo but would still be charged the installation fee. I might even love it so much I could live without reminders...

The simple answer was reminders are from before V+ and were there to remind you of stuff as the boxes couldn't record. Now with three tuners people should be changing their habits and not need to remind them of stuff starting as they can record so much and store it on the huge hard drive.
If there is a live event that you have been planning on watching for ages you really shouldn't be forgetting about it, otherwise it can't really be that important. Even the TiVo guys can't understand people needing reminders. It's really just habit and people still think they need them, but they don't really. I personally haven't used a reminder since I last used a pace stb!!
As some people still think they are required, TiVo and VM will see if they can be added.
