Yes, it's intentional.

What's the reasoning?
I used to have over 200 and treated it as an on demand menu so for me this is a huge backwards step. Especially since the new improved suggestions recorded an episode of Corrie the other day - it's never been more wrong!

And yet we had complaints from people on here who wanted to know how to switch 'Suggestions' off and some would keep deleting programmes that came onto the folder as if they were taking up room that they needed for recordings.
I guess you can't please everyone, but it might have been better to give people the choice in the settings, eg:
- Record suggestions
- Record up to 50 suggestions
- Do not record suggestions
I agree with Spiderplant that the way to look at the Suggestions folder is as an 'On Demand' library of programmes that is geared to your preferences. Diluting content in this way is indeed a backward step.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
Could I please ask whether there is a use-by date on the activation code for the 6 month free offer?
I am hoping that if I go for the 1 month free off now I can then use the 6 month offer to get 7 months free Netfix to offset some of our £5.75pm VM increase next year.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
Thanks for the information Ben. I may just hang fire in signing up for the Netflix until next month then. I have a feeling it will get little use but I do love the idea of getting something for nothing. Sad I know.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
Just be aware, that's the expiry date if you've already got the code. I believe the expiry to sign up for the offer itself at the moment is end of the year

The "Audio Description" channels are just the London versions of the terrestrial channels. If you don't have AD enabled, they will play exactly as normal.
Many of the regular channels (Sky, UKTV etc) also have audio description, but you wouldn't know unless you have AD turned on.
