Longer versions of the article state that "TiVo offers a similar feature, TiVo Suggestions, but users must tell the system explicitly whether they like a program, and it learns and makes guesses about what else they could like based on that."
This is false. Any show you record automatically gets one thumbs-up, without user intervention. You can optionally improve TiVo's suggestions by manually rating shows from 1-3 thumbs up/down, but that's not required.
