Yes - if all tuners are in use.

Even if it didn't record the reminder, it would still have to stop recording something else.

Remember the V+HD had/s a dedicated live tuner, so reminders were independent of whatever was set to record

TiVo has 3 recording tuners, so if they are all in use, then it has to stop one of them to change to another channel. By reminding on a set recording, it avoids a clash.
