I thought it'd be more to do with Big Google customising what you see
on your PeeCee, you don't login to gmail on your TV (Well I don't) so
it doesn't seem to play clever cookie games to customise content to
you.

I deduce this as my Sony Bravia Youtube thing doesn't seem to suggest
bogged excavator,  truck and big honking tow truck recovery clips to
me with anywhere near the frequency that my PeeCee does. I can explain
the latter, I think I can explain the former.
