And if I then thumbed up that medical show then even more medical dramas would be recorded.
Must admit I also preferred the old bar across the top of the screen that made suggestions (is it the Discovery bar?) - now restricted to 4 shows only, most of which I've already got as wishlists.

The original suggestions for the S1 Tivo (and the U.S now still I believe) work in the very same way as you describe. So I thumb up Forrest Gump and I may get a recording of that but also due to Tom Hanks may get a recording of Castaway.
Recording random episodes of series is where I see a downfall but where it worked perfectly was with films and by thumbing more films along the way you would get some right gems usually recorded in the night as various actors or topic of the film would be cross referenced.
I have had 2 films recorded (since Tivo launch!) as Suggestions and they have been shown on a Freeview Channel. Nothing from the Sky Movies channels that have about 12 channels running 24 hours a day
