View Full Version : Searching 'issues' w/ 721

I ran into some problems the other night searching for programs. Some searches were great- some were found even in the description of the program, but others weren't found even though the show was on. For example, CSI. There are two CSI's- the original and CSI: Miami. Searching for 'CSI' came up with only the original, not Miami. I tried all different varients, but nothing. I eventually ended up scrolling forward one week to make sure it was on next Monday. It's on.
I'd say that the search function was about 80% effective for shows that were showing in the next 9 days.
Is it me or have other people run into these issues?

Also, is there a way to save a show you want to record before it shows up on the guide? For example, SciFi has been hyping a show for the last 6 months which is airing in December. Tivo has a Wishlist feature for saving a show or part of a show name; so I could type in "Taken" and it would record it in December so I don't have to remember to program it in 10 days in advance. Anything like that with the 721?

Yes, Tal, there is a way. It involves doing a manual timer set up. Verify the date and time of the program you wish record, and follow the instructions in the timer set up menu.

But I guess there is no way to save the search "Bruce Campbell" and then have it record everything with Bruce Campbell in it even if it's 2 months off? Saves me from having to remember stuff. :)
