Re: Tivo Not Making Any "Suggestions"

It now deliberately prioritises programmes you haven't thumbed. The idea of Suggestions is it finds programmes you might like but aren't aware of. If you've set a thumb, you already know about the programme, so would set a Series Link or WishList if you wanted it recording.

Before this was implemented, people used to complain that Suggestions were full of old episodes of their favourite programmes that they'd already seen
How does that make sense? I thumb up things i like buy don't want every episode recorded. Why would it actively avoid recording these? That's not at all how tivo was originally designed even from the series 1!!

Suggestions used to be great to delve into if I'm bored. Now there is NOTHING there i want to watch. At least there is hardly any now they have limited the number of suggestions! Stupid changes!

September to November.
Really? Server based? How can that be the case? If its a metadata problem it would be a problem for everyone wouldn't it?
