I think you would get into all sorts of problems with recording
priorities depending on how many tuners each person had and people
getting pissed off because their favourite show didn't record because
their idiot friend decided to put XX show in the queue etc. etc.

Kevin you should re-read David's post, he is not suggesting the sharing
of record tv shows, just sharing suggestions of what to record.  Kind of
similar to Tivo's recommendations feature, or irate (irate.sf.net).  I
love the idea, especially if it could determine what kind of shows I
like to watch and then record shows that it thinks I might like,
obviously at a lower priority to my manually scheduled recordings.
