It was a feature originally intended for non-PVR receivers so you could set a VCR to record on different channels, but was left in the PVR software.

One more thing I forgot to add in things I do- part way through a show I say "this is awesome, I should be recording this!" Then I rewind it and record the whole show. Oh, and if I have to leave and it's 10 minutes to the hour, I can just record the end of my show and watch it later.
the Shaw HDPVR box is set to automatically record from the beginning of a show, assuming you've been watching since the start to have it buffered so there's no need to rewind to the beginning. the Bell one doesn't work the same?
