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.
I understand your first but not your second paragraph. What I think you are saying is:

1. You do not expect the TIVO to put a series link in automatically if you give a thumbs up to a programme (because of course, you set it yourself). I agree with that.

2. That you shouldn't assume that Suggestions will be populated with a particular type of programme, assuming it will pick up on your choices, and that you should record it. I also agree with that.

The beauty of the Suggestions folder if it works properly is that it can find programmes that appear to be in line with your preferences that you may otherwise have missed, and then it records them. But it should record the whole series otherwise you have gaps and miss half the story.

Set up correctly, I do think it is useful to have this and I hope that VM will ignore those who complain about it because if they don't want it they don't have to use it. Some people complain about everything and are never satisfied.

All in all, I think we agree!
