When your Tivo gets confused...
Mr. Iwanyk, 32 years old, first suspected that his TiVo thought he was gay, since it inexplicably kept recording programs with gay themes. A film studio executive in Los Angeles and the self-described "straightest guy on earth," he tried to tame TiVo's gay fixation by recording war movies and other "guy stuff."
"The problem was, I overcompensated," he says. "It started giving me documentaries on Joseph Goebbels and Adolf Eichmann. It stopped thinking I was gay and decided I was a crazy guy reminiscing about the Third Reich."

I bet mine would think I was a 3-year-old and tape me Scooby Doo episodes. Does yours do this? What does it pick for you?

I've looked at the stuff that TiVo is recommending to me, and most of it is stuff that I've already seen and don't really need to record again (Buffy repeats on Fox5 or FX), or random movies (I TiVo'd a lot of movies on Starz when I first got the thing). I haven't really kept up with my ratings, however, and the machine is stuck thinking I just mostly like cartoons and sci-fi shows.
