Brad, have you looked at MythRecommend at all? Its a script you run on your computer which uploads your recording schedule to a database and then downloads lists of shows that were scheduled by others who have the same shows scheduled as you. The output is fairly raw, which makes it hard to use. Another problem is it doesn't have a large user base, so there isn't much information to draw correlations out of. This is a particularly good reason to integrate TV Wish with MythRecommend. Why have 2 starving recommendation systems when one can do the same job. I'm not sure how MythRecommend fairs in some of the things you worry about. It appears to be pretty private. You only upload a list of show titles, nothing about whether you actually watched or anything like that. I don't know what protections they have against spam, but I didn't have to set up an account to use it.
