The shows I watched at home were shows I just happened to see while browsing through listings and TiVo knew they were the types of shows I wanted to watch. Had I been outside doing something the shows would still get recorded and I could watch them later.

I just upgraded my thumb with similar features. I have to admit I am getting no mexican porn, though…

The problem is not that the AI in question is stupid, but rather than it has an interesting sense of humor. :smack:

OK, I got about a trillion channels and I can’t sort through them all. So, just in the interest of science, of course, where could one find Mexican porn?

I noodled with my old Macintosh so that it’d talk to me- and adjusted my PC to come close - But somehow I never liked much of what it had to say… TiVo too was designed to do what it does - thank its designers and also thank them for keeping statistic on every choice you (or tivo for you) make- and selling it-some of the telephone jockeys are laughing at you now because sweerr innocent doris 43 isn’t watching “teletubbies” with her granddaughter but steaming mexican porn at 11 am.

The dedication of our Mods inspires me to almost want an uppity inanimate object with a monthly subscriber fee so it can find me some Mexican Porn.  
Almost.

Well, it’s Playboy Latina. I’m not _supposed_ to get it, but it’s there. When I signed up for my cable modem they seem to have accidently given me the previous resident’s cable channels (I use dishnetwork for my main TV viewing). I know I should call them up and tell them but…
