Hi...

This feels like a dumb question, so I hope you'll treat me lightly.

Let's say I want to get all games of a particular Major League team: let's call them the Kalamazoo Krackpots for neutrality.

Right now, I have a Wish List that auto-records, with padding of one hour, a Keyword wishlist on "Krackpots". It brings me every game, such as when they are on ESPN, on on WGN (playing against the Cubs) or on TBS (playing against the Braves), etc.

But this wish list also brings me every ESPN Classic game in which the Krackpots play: historic games, chilling World Series matchups etc. It isn't so terrible to get those, but to have 1 hour padded on them is unnecessary, and I'd rather just get live games.

So I thought I'd add "LIVE" as a keyword. Even though a given game's description includes "Live", it doesn't pick it up.

The Wishlist entry looks like this:
Sports/Baseball: Krackpots Live

Whereas Sports/Baseball: Krackpots
...will bring in the games (and the Classic shows, too).

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to make the wish list more specific?

thanks!

Select the category Sports/Sports Event.

Hm.

I tried this, and it doesn't seem to list "Sports Event" as a sub-category to "Sports". Is this a software version thing?

I would do the following as a keyword wishlist:

"Kalamazoo Krackpots" "MLB Baseball"

Then set it to Sports/Baseball or Sports/Sports Event.

No, but it is a standalone thing. If you have a DirecTivo, you won't have it. Alas.
