If I had a TiVo in my bedroom, i'd delete all the thumbs up/down info and only use this feature on the V6. This way I think i'd get the benefit of suggestions without it slowing down the TiVo.

There were probably other changes under the UI I'm sure. But this was the software update that removed the ability on TiVo to view the channels that all 3 tuners were tuned to. If multiple tuners are recording, then you can still view them via the recordings list, but you can't have multiple tuners buffering multiple channels anymore.
There was a very lengthy thread on the official VM forum about it, a few posters who for whatever reason, didn't want to record programs but buffer them instead. Each to their own I suppose. But if that's the price of improving overall performance by having tuners go into standby when they're not being used, well I've settled on the "yes please" side of the fence.
As for the time taken to load a recording, I'd have to concur with alwaysabear - it's certainly only a few seconds. And my suggestions have been switched off since the first hour I had the box.
