Wishlist - actor with a period in their name (weird behavior)

[killme]

I created a Wishlist to find all programs with the actress "COOK, AJ". TiVo's guide data displays the name as "AJ. COOK" when looking at the details for programs she appears in. The problem I had was TiVo kept reporting there were no programs even though I knew Criminal Minds and Final Destination 2 are scheduled to air soon.

After playing around with the variables I realized I have to add parentheses to her name in order to get TiVo to show her upcoming programs. This behavior seems a little weird because parentheses are suppose to make the name optional.

"AJ COOK" or "AJ COOK" (with two spaces) should get what you want. Or you could drop the quotes and use a key word WL but that will probably get too may hits.

I did try two spaces, but that didn't work either.

Am I missing something here? Don't you just type C O O then arrow over and pick the complete name from the menu?

Yes, I picked the complete name. What I'm saying is that TiVo is not finding any programs for COOK, AJ. I had to add parentheses to the name, (COOK, AJ). Parentheses are suppose to make the keyword or name optional. Only then did it find the programs she appears in. I think it does this because in the guide data her name includes a period, AJ. COOK, instead of AJ COOK. It's weird.
