Does TiVo think I’m easily amused?
Thursday, May 24, 2001 @ 11:12am

Since I got the 2.0.1 TiVo OS upgrade, it’s been making some interesting choices on what it thinks I want to watch.

Sometimes it gets it right on the nose. Though I wouldn’t have thought so, I’m enjoying watching Northern Exposure in syndication, and old ERs are also entertaining. Other times it’s not even close. A few weeks ago it thought I might enjoy Korean music videos, and it thought I might want to be a member of the PTL club.

Today takes the cake. I don’t know how TiVo’s predictive modeling system works, but last night it recorded “To Be Announced…” And this wasn’t just a humorous name for a show. TiVo just thought I might like to see a random show when even TiVo didn’t know what it would consist of!

Far be it from me to question our computer overlords. I think I’ll go see what it’s about. Maybe I’ll get to see what Suzanne Summers is up to nowadays…
