I am building a recommendation service for online TV and movies

Hello fellow hackers, Would really appreciate some feedback on a service that I am building that will show a list of your favorite shows and episodes that have recently become available online. It will also recommend shows from across different TV and movies websites. You can find the service here - http://tvnow.herokuapp.com/ I am trying to scratch a personal itch with this service. A lot of times I find myself searching for shows on different streaming websites without really settling on something to watch. With this service I can now go to one service and see what is available across different streaming websites. The topmost question in my mind is - apart from me, will anybody else find this useful/interesting? Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Regards, Avilay
