Re: So Long Tivo - Back to Sky - Close but no cigar!

Just to pick up on Denyo's point about suggestions, I actually think they're one of TiVo's best features. I regularly watch a suggestion, and in fact find myself watching less and less on demand as a result. I do, however, think that there is an issue with the way in which Virgin have explained suggestions which has resulted in people not understanding how to get the best out of them. You saying that you've reduced the number of thumbs up for the Simpsons just to stop it recording episodes of it is a case in point. I know it's annoying, but you have to be prepared for your suggestions folder to be full of stuff you don't want otherwise there's no chance it will ever be full of stuff that you do. You really only should give a programme thumbs up or down because you do or don't like it, and for no other reason, and then most importantly, you need to give it some time. Your TiVo now thinks you only like a show a little bit, when in fact you like it a lot. Hardly fair to complain about the suggestions it's making when you're not telling it the whole truth.
