Auto Transfer questions.

I realize this may be a dumb question but why will tivo desktop not allow you to set up an Auto transfer while the show is being recorded? I understand that it will not actually begin the transfer of the program until its completion (actually I really don't understand that either but I can deal with it) but to make it to where I have to wait until it's finished recording is really annoying.

Am I the only one that feels this way?

Ideally I think it should be able to view your To Do List and set up the auto transfer series from there but I think I'm asking for too much.

 

so I'm alone?
