It was never the case that the old software only recorded shows that had already been thumbed, or just those from freeview channels (that's only been the case since the update), although I accept I never once saw a movie. Interestingly, when you go to browse tv and collections, there is a suggestions folder in tv, but not in movies, and so I always assumed that the lack of movie suggestions was deliberate.

The 50 limit makes suggestions useless, as far as I'm concerned, however. Whether you like the new implementation or the old one, the fact is that it is very easy to have 50 shows you have little interest in. Make that a folder of nearly 300 shows and you're much more likely to make use of it. I never check suggestions now, whereas it used to be the best thing about TiVo as I was concerned.
