Wishlist questions - characters and groups

[martinwilliamh]

1. Is there a way to insert special characters to help narrow wishlist (sorry, auto-record) searches? For instance:

a. Using an asterisk, such as: mountain bi* so it will grab all mountain bike OR mountain biking shows
b. Since Title auto-record does not work, can you use quotes around a keyword so it will only grab those shows exactely matching what you are looking for. For instance, "chocolat" so it will only grab the movie Chocolat and NOT everything with the word chocolat in it (like Blood and Chocolate)

2. Is there a way to wishlist groups? For instance, all shows relating to or catorgorized as motorcycle or how-to, etc.

Thanks!

1) No, there are no extended charater options, or wildcard functions
1a) Mountain Bike... should find both of those
1b) no, there is no way to search for an "exact" word

2) No

The term you are searching for on the HR20 is autorecord.

Check out the HR20 Wish List (http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=93995) (not to be confused with your reference to the word 'wishlist').

There are a number of different items related to autorecord that I am sure will interest you.

Oh, and :welcome_s to the forum.
