I'm very happy that I chose UltimateTV by Microsoft instead of Tivo. (Production of UltimateTV equipment has been halted, but DirecTV still supports the service).

It records what I program it to, or auto-records programs based on "auto-searches" that I've created. (such as "Humphrey Bogart" or "Titanic" or "Civil War" etc.

But it doesn't "decide" what I would like to see based on a type of show I've recorded in the past.

Does one have to have cable tv to use these products or is it over the internet. I have cable internet but no tv.
