This is a basic flaw in the
system
Unlike tape you quite often schedule
to
record different channels straight after each
other.
This must then assume that the
programme
info is right as the box only has this info to go on to work out whether
this
is possible or not
When then a broadcaster deviates from
its
published schedule the end or start will get
truncated
The new software enables you to buffer
recording timed but this will then have the negative effect of not
recording
say
BBC1 8:30 > 9:00
ITV 9:00 > 9:30
As the buffer would not allow the
9:00 recording with a buffer set to
5mins
A problem you must have on SS as
well

This sounds like an unbelievably
basic problem and one which would spoil the experience rather a lot.
Seems incredible they haven't got a fix for this yet - how long has TiVo
been
out in the UK - a year?
Does this problem effect the Sky
Plus box too?
