Have you considered using TVWish?
	http://www.templetons.com/brad/myth/tvwish.html
It can import wish-lists from other TVWish users.  You can use 
various rating options to increase or decrease the recording 
priority of shows, etc.  It's not true collaborative filtering, but 
it's pretty good.  TVWish also has a "suggest" feature that will 
analyse your past picks and automatically add low-priority 
recordings to the list.

What would be REALLY nice would be if MythTV would assign a few 
cut-off priority levels.  The first (-50) would turn off the 
"reschedule higher priotity recordings" feature so that anything 
below -50 would be recorded only if the tuner was otherwise idle.  
A second threshold (-99) would simply disable that entry so it 
would never be recorded.  Likewise, it would be nice to have a 
threshold (+50) on the positive side beyond which a high-priority 
show would be exempt from the "reschedule higher priority 
recordings" feature entirely.  (These things may already exist but 
I'm stuck on 0.18 right now).
