This sounds really good. I use On Demand alot and this would help. Any ideas when it will be in the Portsmouth area?

All of the above and this ...

I just bought one of the old Pace remote control keyboards on eBay and I can't get it to work with the search facility. It assumes that you are using a numeric remote control and it does not offer the standard editing interface that you use with e-mail etc. (see also 3 regarding left arrow/backspace above) so you have to use the numeric keys on the keyboard to generate letters, spaces and punctuation! :(

To be honest that's because the Keyboards haven't been sold or supported by Virgin for several years now, so the services aren't tested for compatability against them

They've deviated from the standard interface that is used elsewhere and that customers are familiar with. Even the left arrow key cannot be used for navigation! The Blue button is supposed to be Delete and Green should toggle between Numeric and Alpha input.

Tell them to confirm to the existing user interface standards both for text editing and navigation!

I think the screen looks a bit ropey too. The navigation tabs just don't look right.

Re: My 1st thread woop! I'm in trial area for new Tivo style (sort of lol) OD search
 

The navigation on the search screen is a little more complex than on others, but to clarify:

Green - used for Page Up (as is elsewhere).

Blue - could have been used for delete; however that relegates the "More Like This" functionality to an option from the (i) button programme info screen, hence the deviation.

Left button deletes characters while the text input field is highlighted (watch the arrow indication - you will see it change when switching highlight from the results area to the input field). Once you have results, left button will let you switch categories to the left unless you use the up button to put highlight back on the text input field or use number keys to change the search term.

That would make more sense wouldn't it?
The yellow button seems to be neglected at times :(

Can you add a "Play all" button in for me? :D

Re: My 1st thread woop! I'm in trial area for new Tivo style (sort of lol) OD search
 

You just reminded me, i've missed out some info about the blue button :)
The "More like this" would be replaced with "[Blue] Delete" when inside the text box.

A play all button would be very good. Would be nice to make playlists on the fly too, hopefully a feature for Tivo?

As of Thursday I have this delightful new search that confuses me :):(:confused::D

Re: My 1st thread woop! I'm in trial area for new Tivo style (sort of lol) OD search
 

You will hopefully get used to it :) It's very helpful!

Re: My 1st thread woop! I'm in trial area for new Tivo style (sort of lol) OD search
 

Yeah, I actually like it now, so good especially the TV guide search :)
