I thought this was supposed to be TiVos biggest selling point , discovering new content. What do you need a tv magazine for ?

I've never bought a tv magazine in years.
I wouldn't rely on the Tivo to guess everything I'd like recorded. In fact, I've missed one or two series before that I was lucky enough not to miss when they were repeated. The suggestions are just a useful back up and are not to be relied upon.

However, I have certainly been impressed by the way Tivo remembers your series links and without fail picks up the next series shown. That is a very useful trick the Tivo performs. I don't think the Sky + HD box does this.

As an aside, quite happy to keep paying the licence fee as the Mrs is a bit technically challenged and prefers linear.
So you don't bother recording your preferred programmes from linear TV? I think you are unnecessarily reducing your choice by not doing so. Fast forwarding through the commercials is not really a pain - very little time is wasted by doing so.
