Yeah there is a way to turn of Tivo suggestions.  I'm not at home so I
can't tell you exactly how to do it, but it's buried in those menu's
someplace.  I have noticed that it does pick up some strange things as
"suggestions".  I have been very happy with my Tivo.  I enjoy my
television much more than I used to, and there is almost always
something to watch.  I just wish I would have bought the 80hour
instead of the 40hour.  I guess I will have to mod it.
