Interesting to know that it is not done locally on the box as it was originally, before VM messed around with them. Thanks. They always used to be clever and useful the way Tivo designed it but after it stopped working altogether when VM "made it better" it was never the same again and I like many others then switched them off for good. Shame! I guess there could be financial advantages in being able to control which programs get suggested!!?

Still think it won't be long before targeted adverts start appearing on the menu and pause screens though. Never mind, I'm sure some people will enjoy them. The US still have the option to opt out I understand.
