I have it set to record shows we like, which includes some sitcoms (the office, etc.). It must think I want to record all sitcoms, no matter how bad. I like the feature that it records suggested shows, so we might watch something we'd miss normally, but I'd like to block some shows (like 'roseanne', 'futurama' (recorded that one twice
, 'saved by the bell'). I may do some exploring on tivo's site.
