The machine itself is capable of it, but it would require the epg data to mention the author for it to be able to find it. A search for Dickens does find Charles, and allows you to setup a wishlist. A search for Wells does find H.G., gives his date and place of birth and again allows a wishlist search. No shows found for either author, however, which could be because there aren't any in the next two weeks or because the epg data isn't currently sufficient. I don't know which. And to what will probably be my eternal shame, I don't know who you mean by Austin so haven't searched that name.
