I literally just turned on my DirecTv Tivo reciever (non HD) to view some recordings that I have in the Suggestion Folder. As I was scrolling down the folders I could not find it. In addition, when I got to the bottom of the list and hit the down button again it scrolled to the top of the list again. Any one know what is going on? I did try to reset the system to see if that would bring it back, but no luck.

Oddly enough....the Suggestions Folder was back late yesterday evening when I returned. However, using the channel down button to go page to page it did seem to go back to the top of the list once or twice before it showed up.

The suggestions folder is only there if there are suggestions on the hard drive. Suggestions are deleted first to make room for scheduled recordings. If you want to save a suggestion, you need to tell the TiVo to keep it longer. Once this is done, the suggestion is taken from the suggestion folder and put into the list with the rest of the programs (or a folder if there is more than one episode).

I understand that if Tivo has not recorded anything on its own, or there is no room that the suggested recordings would be missing. However, that was not the case in this instance. There were many items in the folder (15) and I had no programs scheduled to record from the time I saw the folder in the morning til I noticed the folder missing in the afternoon.
