I had a S1 Tivo from 2002 and the Suggestions for me was only really ever good for Films. Found some right hidden gems over the years with that.
I had it hooked up to my Sky (not Sky+ back in them days) box and had the Sky Movies package and it would record maybe a couple of films a day. Sometimes films that I had already seen and therefore rated but sometimes others I had never seen or even heard of.
These film suggestions were great for those dull evenings or rainy weekends etc.

I very rarely bothered with anything else but films as apart from the likes of The Simpsons, Family Guy etc then if it was to record episode 5 of 24 in isolation it is pretty useless.

I kind of agree with both of the points being made earlier that in balance it should record some things you have previously given thumbs up to but it's beauty was it would record things that had no rating but give them a chance and you could have some great recordings. If you think it's not for you then thumbs down and you will never see it again.
