I know I am not on my own here but I see no point in only recording thumbed programmes as I have already seen 90% of them.
Just because they have cropped up on another channel or repeated months or years later does not mean I will revisit them.

Suggestions as far as I am concerned are almost working as they should.
They now seem to be recording films.
They are now selecting non thumbed programmes.
They are recording thumbed programmes (admittedly there could be more).
Suggestions are coming from a lot more channels than before that used to be pretty much Freeview only.
The 50 limit seems pointless. Just work it as before that they use all space available and delete on a loop.
Just a shame it only updates on a Friday as the S1 Tivo would update each day.
I thought the idea of the 'thumbed' programmes was that the Suggestions would record similar programmes, not the same programmes!

I simply don't know why they changed it. I don't object to films appearing, but why limit the suggestions to 50? If I want more, why can't I have more? I really don't understand the logic of some people.

I think that perhaps there were those who thought that the more Suggestions there were, the less scope there was for recording, which of course is nonsense. As for those who 'objected' to having the Suggestions, they seemed to be totally oblivious to the fact that they could hide the facility or just not look at them at all!

I am happy that VM are listening to their customers, but the criticisms that come in do have to be properly evaluated and common sense applied. In this case, the vocal few have completely messed up what was a very good innovation. I hope they change it back again in time.
