If it's not for you, then you can disable suggestions in the menu. I was open minded about them and rated programmes and it now is pretty much spot on with suggestions. |
Having used TiVo for nearly 10 years it is very good and often spots some gems I'd never have seen otherwise.
I rarely drift off of the first few channels on the guide myself and know there are many other channels that probably have stuff I'd be interested in, but to be honest I don't have the time or inclination to look for, whereas TiVo does (or will when I get my new one).
Makes far more of the other channels I never use, the same is true of wishlists. I know I will be watching more programmes from Discovery and Nat Geo because of TiVo, I probably wouldn't any other way.
It wasn't without issues though I found if you thumbed down too much it tended to get way off as it'd get the impression you hated a broad spectrum of stuff. So I tended only to thumb up and not thumb down unless it was something really awful (i.e. football or Eastenders!).
