Yeah, especially if you show them a list of active recordings and let
them chose one to cancel. Currently on tivo (if both tuners are
recording), you end up trying to switch, realise you'd interrupt the
recording, press jump to check what the other tuner is recording, and
decide which one to abort, and then finally switch channel.

Maybe it's just because I have roommates and the tivo is always
recording someones crap show...
