Yes, I remember that from my TiVo. One nice thing about its strategy
was that popping down the notice didn't make it vanish forever---it
kept notices around that you could go back and look at in its Messages
screen (or whatever it was called). So you didn't have to deal with
the message -instantly-, and such a scheme also interacts better with
multiple people in a household, some of whom might pop down the message
because they don't care, but the maintainer of the device might care
about a lot. :)
TiVo often did this about lineup changes, but I think there were some
other random messages as well.
