Movie Premieres?

It would be great if there was a way to identify Movie Premieres on Tivo

I would definitely record these as wishlist

Anyone managed to figure this?

Re: Movie Premieres?

Sounds similar to what I want to find out, except I want new series. Same prinicple though. No luck so far.

Good idea definitely.

Just type 'New' is pretty successful for series but won't find new movies

Really?! Just "New" as a keyword?!? If so, I think you win Most Excellent Tip of the Month!

I don't want to be negative but logic says that's never going to work. Maybe you could clarify how and where you are entering "New" in a wishlist to obtain a new series?

If there is a way then this is definitely one of the most simplistic and best tips on the forum.

Just tried it as a keyword and it doesn't work. picks up everything with new in the show description.

That's what I thought wishlists were designed to do yet I did secretly hope JethroUK had something that defied logic.

Re: Movie Premieres?

You can choose "New only" in the recording options, but it doesn't work for Films because they don't have an original air date.

I can't think of a way to set a wishlist for just movie premieres on TV but there is a way to look at the vast majority of films and there's even a Sky Premiere category.*

Home - Search & Browse - Browse All TV - Movies

"Browse All TV" in my mind is an excellent feature of the TiVo, so powerful and endlessly customisable as you can can put your chosen categories into "My Favourites" *with the thumbs up button.*

There's a gripe though, it's like most other things you do with the Virgin TiVo. You'd better have some time on your hands as it's not the quickest!

We're getting closer to a solution however "New Only" doesn't help you find new series. Unfortunately episode 13 can be new, a problem when you haven't seen 1 - 12.
