I think it could be done but would require alot of work.  Work I not 
sure anyone whats to put in.  You could take those shows that you have 
set to record automatical and use that as a starting point.  Then you 
would have to have the system learn making sugestions then based on your 
thumbs Up / Down / Notsure refine you sugestion even more.  It would 
take time and the sugestions would get better over time at 1st they 
would be off base at best.  Althought I agress that better descriptions 
would make it more accurate faster.  Also well could combine those 
though some form of Option P2P system system that would compare thing 
like show title and see what else someone else is also watch to help the 
data along over time.
