PROGRAMME RECOMMEDATIONS
<SNIP>
By getting a better understanding of what you watch on Sky, soon we'll be able to use this infomation to provide you with recommendations on other shows we think you might be very interested in.With more and more great programmes on Sky, we want our customers to find even more of the shows they love <SNIP>
Looking around it seems Sky are going to push the 1tb box and fill the "anytime" partition with shows they know you may like.
So do Tivo users is this what wishlists are? Or is this tivo suggestions, It seems as the Sky 1tb box has a 1.5tb drive Sky will be using the 500gb for suggestions leaving the 1tb free.
Do Tivo users find this usefull or is it just anoying? Can it be turned off?

Depends on how much time you spend planning your viewing/recording. I found TiVo Suggestions interesting rather than essential as I plan my recording fairly meticulously, but if you don't have the time to do that it is pretty neat. And you can turn it off.
Wishlists are different. I have them set up for individual films (Blues Brothers in HD for example), directors (Spielberg, Coen brothers), actors (Clooney) and have the option of auto recording when they appear on the schedules. I find this much for useful as the Spielberg wishlist also picks up programmes about him or his films, which is great.
Sky can't do the same thing yet, no matter how they market it.
