Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Just tried a wishlist as a trial , tried Jones Tom Sir which it found however when setup it failed to find The Voice UK tonight what have I done wrong :confused: also tried Jones Tom still nothing :confused:

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Why not try "Sheep Sh?"

No offence as some of my family and friend's are Welsh.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

:D:D I'm trying to teach wishlists however this one has stumped me

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Nothing. It's because he isn't mentioned anywhere in the listings for The Voice :)

Also, I wouldn't use the "Sir" as he will very rarely be listed with that title.

I think the best way to set up a wishlist for a person is to "search" for them in the database first and then use the 'Create Wishlist' from the "More Info" option.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Have a look in the explore this show for The Voice UK he's listed as Sir


Tried that also but it only picked up stuff from some music channels , thanks for the help no big issue anyway.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

I often use the brackets option. So you could have put (The Voice) for title entry and (Jones Tom) for actor. That way, if Tivo sees a show with either The Voice as the title, ot Tom Jones as an actor, it will record it. Leaving the brackets off will require a show to have the voice as a title AND Tom Jones as an Actor.

I find the '-' ones very useful. For example, I have Jason Statham as an actor and -Crank as the title. That way it will record all Jason Statham films except Crank, which I have on DVD.

Apologies if you knew that already.

Much appreciated , im getting there trying to educate , it's a feature my parents haven't a clue with , so it's a bit like the blind leading the blind :D

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

I did. Never spotted that :o:

Erm... because he's primarily a musician, perhaps ;)

Edited to add:
Okay this is weird. If you do what I suggest above, a Wishlist for "Jones, Tom" does, as I said, not pick up 'The Voice UK' (as it is listed the the EPG.) However, the programme is listed in Tom Jones' entry as something he has appeared in. Huh? :confused:

Incidentally, muppetman11, in his entry, as mentioned above, there are many TV shows and a couple of films, but nothing from any music channel.

He also has two entries for "Jones, Tom" and one for "Jones, Tom Sir"!!

This just gets weirder :confused:

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

"Jones , Tom" brings upcoming programmes like Pop Go the sixties , The Fresh prince of Bel Air , Outtake TV.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Yes, I know.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Getting TIVo installed on Monday (against my better judgement) it better be good.:mad:

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Yes Henke the Tivo is a excellent box now all we need is more channels and content to go with it.:)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Why are you getting something you clearly don't like or want? :confused:

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Trusting you here Den have most of the TIVO problems been resolved?
