Nope, not yet. It's a pilot of the new firmware in those areas.

As far as I understand it, any reminder will also record the programme. So it's like an announced recording

Seems pointless to me ( & I want reminders) the red light does that -
! O look its come on what recording ? type of job. Still no doubt it will be hailed as a great step ( not sure if thats backwards or forwards) by some

This has been my point all along. Yet VM have had to waste time getting Tivo to implement this when they should have been doing something with a higher priority. (Basically anything but reminders.)

It is a huge step backwards.

Well being someone that's got the new feature and using it this morning my initial reaction is that this a positive addition to the TiVo, I reckon most people will like it when they've used it a bit.
I can't see that it detracts in any way from the original software.

So the record light coming on doesn't remind you that something was recording?

It doesn't, but it's the wasted development time that I object to.

How is adding a feature a step backwards?

It is a huge step backwards.

I personally think that the money could could have been spent on far better things, but how is it a 'huge step backwards'?

People will get what they wanted: auto switching of the channel when their selected show starts.

All it does is pop up a reminder that it is starting, TiVo will still record it. Which I think is a waste of time but I'm guessing due to the y TiVo works is the only way they could implement it.
