Take for example, a show like Fringe; when it was first announced a couple of years ago, I knew I wanted to give it a try because it sounded interesting and was part created by JJ Abrams who, amongst other things, created Alias. It was a case of waiting to find out who would pick it up and when they would broadcast it ---- this information wasn't available until a few months after it had been announced.
As I understand it, you would have been able to enter 'Fringe' into the tivo wishlist and when the tivo guide came across a programme called Fringe, it would automatically record it. Tivo 'remembered' several months later, when I would most likely would have forgotten about it.

thats exactly how it works. when the bbc were running promo's at the beginning of the year i spotted candy cabs, thought it looked interesting so set it up as a wishlist and to auto record. completely forgot about it and then it showed up a few weeks ago - wasn't worth the wait, but was really pleased it worked!
