I have an HR20-700 with the 0x022B firmware. Can this accept Boolean searches, and where do I enter the search string? Is it the keyword search?
For instance, if I enter the following in a keyword search

AANY this old house CCHAN 24 28 50 58

expecting it to find "This Old House" on any received PBS station, I get Curious George as a result.

First, AANY THIS OLD HOUSE will get you episodes with any of the words in it, not all. So, you will get a program with THIS or a program iwth OLD or a program with HOUSE.

Also, the CCHAN option is not a list of channels but a range and with 4 entries, I am not sure what it will do. If you use one channel, it should limit to that channel. With two, it will limit to the range of channels. Not at all sure what the other two are doing to it.

Try

AALL THIS OLD HOUSE TTITLE

The channel shouldn't matter with This Old House. and the TTITLE will limit the searches to the title and not the description.

Thanks, that's a lot clearer.
