TiVo "Type" Tracking but online?

[daveon]

I was wondering if there is something like the TiVo facility to record/recommend things but purely online.  It doesn't actually have to record the show, it's just there's so much content out there, it would be nice to occasionally get recommendations outside of the box, or to be warned when stuff we have watched but have not put on our crap PVR is coming back on.

I was thinking of something which pushed recommendations into an RSS feed for later review.

The reason for the question is two fold.

Firstly, I'm interested in any UK TV we might be missing, and second, we missed the start of the new season of Friday Night Lights.

Anythoughts?
