Peter.
so your saying that TiVo will have access to live timing on all shows ? i don't see that happening any time soon.
too Labor intensive. and if they did have this service, i wouldn't trust it.

what happens if a show starts on time, but for some reason ends late ?
e.g. an unscheduled news bulletin in the middle, can they actually adjust a recording while it's going in order to extend it ?

the tivo should be able to recognise that im recording two shows back to back on one ch, and use one tuner to record both shows.
or at least offer that as a solution on a per recording basis. (ie it should ask if i want to use one tuner or two).
surely that shouldn't be too hard to do in the next software update.

until the TV stations are held accountable for running late / early there will be no simple solution, but to manually extend recordings.

i have emailed TiVo about the issue.
