Autorecord "suggestions" programs (like Tivo suggestions)

Summary:
Based on recorded programs in the schedule, Media portal automatically records similar programming attempting to learn what you like.

Area:
MyTV

Description:
Tivo has a function called Tivo suggestions. It records programming based on what you have already recorded (such as description keywords, genre, channel, etc.) at the lowest priority, first to be deleted, and ready to be taken over when watching live TV. In other words, when your HTPC is unattended, it automatically picks shows it thinks your interested in, changing channels as necessary, but not conflicting with pre-scheduled programs, and automatically stops recording if you change channels to watch something live. I would imagine this being done with a process plugin and possibly filling out a "survey" to help it along, and maybe voting/rating buttons on the suggestions. This would be a new menu item in the TV menu probably under recorded programs. It would also need to delete the suggestions if needed to make space for pre-scheduled programs. I love MP much more than tivo (had a roommate for 3 months that had one), but this is on feature that might be useful.

Sagetv has this feature for long time, it is called intelligent recordings, and it rocks.
