Tivoweb search ONLY for the search string

[PhilG]

I am using Tivoweb search to look for "house"

I'd like it to JUST find "house" and not everything that starts "house*" - can i do that?

What I am after is creating a wishlist for "house" not everything about "house"es

A title wishlist will be closer to what you actually want as it will only match exact variants of just the word house and only in the title of the program and not house**** as your keyword wishlist is doing from anywhere in the program description (including the part you can only see if you press the Enter key when viewing the blue program description screen of a recording in Now Playing).

However I feel I should point out that house is a very commonly used word in tv programs these days and in the English language so a keyword wishlist will pick up rather a lot. ;) :rolleyes:

I'm doing a Title search in TW and it does indeed find ALL HOUSEs not just "HOUSE" which is what I'd hoped it'd do (note this is a TITLE search and not a TITLE KEYWORD search)

I never seem to get any programs with just Formula in the description or title rather than Formula 1 or Formula One with my various Keyword and Title Wishlists of that name.

Mind you some things do record on the Tivo I can never work out. I have given up worrying why and just delete them. There is always a reason if you put in enough time in to tracking what it was.

Just get yourself a 400Gb Samsung HDLD hard drive or even a couple of them and then you won't need to worry any more. Especially if you install Daily Mail so that you can delete anything you didn't want painlessly. ;)

Don't forget I am talking about the Tivoweb wishlist creation NOT the Tivo wishlist creation

I suspect they are different

I am a few thousand miles away from my Tivo at present and havd a hankering for a new wishlist, but ONLY if I can get it to record ONLY the program(s) that I want

I may have to wait 'till I am back home

Certainly changing the Expiry date on a full up Tivo doesn't work as well in Tivoweb as Tivoweb doesn't give you any warnings about that choice making other programs you have recorded expire sooner. But Tivo does give you those warnings on its littlle blue screens.

In fact even if there isn't enough hard drive space left Tivoweb won't warn you of this.
