Not a tip per se, but a couple features that I loved on my old Tivo that for whatever reason never appeared on V+ or Sky+.

1. Record First Run Only - only record if it has never been shown on any UK channel ever. Great for pulling out that occasional new episode of the Simpsons or whatever.

2. Record at Most... great for getting stocking fillers of loads of shows - the wife likes the odd Oprah, 2 and a half men, that sort of rubbish. This feature used to let me always have the past 3 or 5 most recent episodes of fillers.
