Potentially as the Channel 5 content is split between Virgin's On Demand service and the app it's not possible to have the search split in that way. Or that it will come once it's confirmed that everyone has the app on their V6 box.
So, if the whole search feature for content by program title, genre, etc does not apply accross searching the multiple stand alone apps, why does Netflix or Prime show in the search results and not in My5, iplayer etc? Have Netflix and Prime done a deal with VM to display their titles next to the linear channels in the tivo search results?
