Well OK, I will reply.
I see absolutely no need for a "remind me" function. I have had FiOS TV for almost 2 years, have one DVR and two SD STBs, never had any interest in being reminded of anything. I simply look at the Guide to see what I want to watch, and watch it - not very difficult. 1 1/2 hours is perfectly adequate for me. And if there are a couple of things on I want to watch at the same time, I record one or two. What is so hard about that?
I guess I don't understand what you think you need. You want to watch 15 different programs in 2 hours? Good God, that is absurd! And do that 3 times a day? Even more absurd.
All of the above IMHO of course.
What I want is more HD channels, and HD VOD. Haven't seen anybody identify anything else I really care about.
