If you do it enough times, it is supposed to learn

You don't have to mark each episode individually. You may just be confusing Sage. My roommate and I have VERY different tastes, so we're watching everything from 'American Dreams" to NASCAR. So naturally sage is getting mixed signals. Eventually it'll get it. But it takes some time. I try to nip things in the but before they get recorded. Every other morning, I go into my sheduled recordings and clean out things that suck.

On that note, viewing profiles would be cool.

Yes they would, but how would you implement them? You're still only dealing with one system negociating all the recordings. Either way you're going to have to deal with different tastes and the same capture cards. What should it record?

Maybe you could use profiles to filter the recordings, and make a big household more managable. So say Dad could be the admin, and see all recordings, along with which shows can be seen by whom. Mom would only see her shows, and ones reccomended for her. And the kids have theirs, cartoons and all, with a rating limit.

Either way, Dad is going to have to filter out the crap. But this way, Mom can say that she doesn't like regis and kelly, but the daughter does. it will still record, but only one person has to see it.

This could also implement an additional level of favorites control. If more than one person has a favorite set, it could get higher priority than one that only one person has. You would of course give dad two votes, just to keep him happy.
