The Virginmedia TIVO box does something like that:

"Youll love TiVo's Suggestions

Ever find you're watching the same shows on the same channels, time and
time again?

This is where your TiVo service comes into its own. Your TiVo box
remembers what you like and what you don't, so it can suggest new things
you're more likely to love. You'll find two little symbols on your
control the unique 'Thumbs Up' and 'Thumbs Down' buttons. These let
you rate what you watch instantly.

So if you gave Megamind the 'Thumbs Up', it might suggest you catch
other animated movies, like The Incredibles or Shrek 3. And in time,
your TiVo box will learn exactly how to push your buttons.
They'll be saved in a special Suggestions folder in My Shows or
available On Demand, ready for you to watch when you want."
