Just seeing what people record is boring to me.   That's not going to tell
you much different from ratings, unless you do some fancy collaborative
filtering.

I'm far more interested in people actually rating if a show is good or bad,
so that, for example, by the time people have watched shows on the east
coast, people on the west coast know how good the shows were (not how well
they were marketed, which is what recording tells you.)

For movies, it's far easier to just draw from sources that list good
movies than to see what people are recording now.

If the above is unfair to people on the east coast, the alternative is
a system that tries to record as much as it can, but deletes all but
the best after the reviews come in.
