I think it's great. The wife saw an advert for a show called Accidentally on Purpose. I went in and searched for it, the search found it in the TV guide, let me series link it from there and also found the first two episodes that she missed on catch up :tu:

I see where you're coming from but yellow button is for series record on a V+. Nice mockup though. :)

Thanks though :)

It's in Belfast so it must be nearly fully rolled out!

Available here today as well, but I can only access the new search feature when stopping an on demand program and selecting the new third 'more like this' option. I've also noticed when searching with the new search, for example, The Wire it lists the full 12 episode list while the normal list in the old search and in HBO channel list only shows 8.

When the text input field is highlighted, everything should work as it does elsewhere when editing a text field (e.g. Blue is delete, Left arrow is move left within the text etc.). Then, when you're in the results area Blue and Yellow can take on the appropriate behaviour in that context (More Like This, Series Record etc.) and page up/down is performed by the page up and page down keys. Where is Green Page Up?

The search in BBC iPlayer uses Blue as clear/delete as does set-top-box e-mail which also uses Red to toggle upper/lower case, Green to toggle alpha/number mode, Yellow to access symbols and the arrow keys do what they should: move left, right, up and down. There are several other places where the keys operate like this for editing text and always have done in all of the years that I've had a digital box.

Ive now got the search option now at last.:)..and its really good...so far:D

How'd ya get it fixed Whingey? ;)

It was certainly an odd one and apparently unique to you!

Red/Green as PgUp/PgDn are standard elsewhere - TV Guide & other On Demand listings screens, for example. It would be nice to use the actual PgUp/PgDn buttons, I agree, but not all RC units have these. The difficulty is coming up with a standard which works for all boxes and all remotes; given the very large number of possible combinations, in practice this becomes rather difficult. Your focus-sensitive blue button idea sounds rather good, actually - very useful feedback. I'll take that one away, thank you. :)

Noticed this new search menu yesterday, but there seems to be some teething problems with the catch-up part.

1 - Some BBC programmes (may be others too, but it's these I've noticed) from Sunday/Monday don't seem to be on catch-up. Panorama from Monday for example - I can't see this under A-Z or search.

2 - Search function not finding everything. Take Newsnight. A-Z listing and it finds all the "episodes" you'd expect. Catch-up search and it only finds yesterdays. Not sure if this by accident or design.

I'd also agree it could do with an option at the bottom of the screen to say how many pages of results there are. Page up & down is fine, but "Page x of y" would be good.

I'm in BS37, BTW.

Jon.

....agree about the teething problems.

This new search feature has landed in my area so I thought I'd give it a quick spin.

When into it, with the blue "more like this" button at the bottom of the page. There were already four selections of programmes there so I pressed the blue "more like this" button on the Scottish parliament programme hoping to get more of the same. (Not sure why I selected Scottish parliament, perhaps I just wanted to see what those Scots were wasting our taxpayers money on...:) ). I digress.

But instead of getting more Scotch Parliament action, one of the options was Jeremy Kyle!:td:

Now, I know the Scots are a rough bunch but they're not as bad as that total plonker...:LOL:

I've just given it one last try, so I pressed the magic blue button on Homes Under The Hammer, an easy subject to find similar stuff, one would think. This is what I got:

Indian Hill Railways
Animal Park
A Century Of Fatherhood
Crop To Shop
Gardener's World
Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives

At least when I'm bored, I've got a new toy to play with now. I guess Gardener's World is related to stuff about homes, but Parallel Worlds??

does anybody know when this roll out is going to be complete? Still no sign of it in the West of Southampton.

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

Everyone should have it as the rollout has now completed

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

Can i just ask a question ben does the search say you type in horror mostly horror films come up or with horror in the title does this depend on your chosen package?,i did ask the chap who i beta test for but he had nothing to do with the testing phase.
