Just to let people know I am working on yet another recommendation system for 
MythTV. I am trying to make it as generic as possible to enable the system to be 
used for recommendations made from your viewing patters, from websites and from 
lists such as TVWish (and more). Most importantly detach any interaction with 
the database from external programs.

The input format is in XML and can be kept in the same file as the xmltv guide. 
The file is simple to generate and I have already written 3 screen scrapers: 
Radio Times, Tiscali, and the Mirror (weekdays).

I have made the interface to MythWeb on the program_listing and program_details.

http://www.brej.org/mythtv/recommendations/program_detail.php.htm

The patches and scripts are here:

I would appreciate any feedback or help.
