I half agree with you, gizuk, but not the bit about not wanting every episode recorded.
To my mind, Suggestions can be like another channel on demand. The box gets to know what you like and records one-off and whole series of programmes until you delete them or there is no more room on the disk. There is nothing worse than only having parts of a series recorded, that's no good to me.
If you have given the thumbs up to a programme, the TIVO should assume that you are aware of that particular series you are watching and that you have it on series record.

Perhaps my post wasn't clear, I meant that I don't presume it will record every episode of a sesies just because I thumbed it up. If I wanted that I would set a series link.
I give things a thumb up because I like them. Yes TiVo also sets thumbs when you record things but it is completely wrong to presume that is why things are thumbed and therefore actively avoid recording them.
