How to set a reminder

TKTrooper
Tuning in

Can someone tell me if it’s possible, if so how to set a reminder for a future programme, without recording? 
I’ve tried contacting virgin media to ask, but like most companies these days the websites make it so difficult, everything tends to direct you to manuals which I’ve found if no use. 

The things I’ve found on the internet did suggest going via GUIDE>choose channel and programme> press ok instead of “R”> select “set reminder

how pressing ok just brings up the record menu

You have to do a Record and Remind, there is no option just to remind. When the reminder pops up it gives you option to the cancel the recording, so if you're there, you don't have to record, if you're not, the program gets recorded so you don't miss it.

By setting a reminder, the TiVo has to reserve a tuner for that programme else you run the risk of getting "all tuners are in use" errors when it starts.

Recording also means that if you miss the reminder, the programme is still available tk rewind or watch later.

The reminder function wasn't native to TiVo originally but was added on due to customer demand from the V+ days.
