Re: Tivo Not Making Any "Suggestions"

I have a 1 terabyte box that is 83% empty, not sure the 50 limit makes a great deal of sense does it? I have also gone through the guide several times thumbing all the content that interests me with the result that all that is left is things I don't like or wouldn't watch and it's these that VM thinks should be recorded in suggestions, guess what 'Achievement Unlocked'.

At least you can ignore reminders. To be fair, there seem to be fewer complaints about Suggestions now than before, so in that respect it has been a success. Can't say I like the new system though.
Bet most of the complaints before were about suggestions being mixed in with the normal recordings. I'm sure complaints could have been reduced without exterminating all them poor 2&3 thumbs.

Agreed 100%.

Thanks spiderplant for keeping us informed, the VM Forum has been strangely silent on the issue for over a month.
