Is anyone else having this problem knows of a solution? I have several celebrity wishlists and one or two title wishlists that record shows that I've tried to block. Here is my problem. I want to block recordings of Access Hollywood. But whenever that celeb or title is mentioned in the program description, it still records Access Hollywood. I DON'T WANT ACCESS HOLLYWOOD!!!

example...
keyword: (biggest loser)
Title keyword: (biggest loser) -access hollywood

Biggest Loser is the one that it happens to most frequently. The celebrity wishlists are not as active as the one for BL so it's hard to know if they are working or not.

I added the -access hollywood to the keyword field today. I am hoping that works.

Do you need to have Access Hollywood inside double quotes so it matches the entire title?

the wishlists don't work that way. if you add it as it's shown ACCESS(space)HOLLYWOOD it looks for that exact phrase. Then using the thumbs buttons you add the minus or parenthesis. No quotes are needed.

TerpBE, it should ignore that show the way I had it. I'm just miffed that it still records the show even though I have it in the TITLE KEYWORD not to record it. I tested that theory by making a Title Keyword wishlist for Access Hollywood and got a whole bunch of AH episodes in upcoming episodes. I then added -Access Hollywood to the Title Keyword, checked upcoming episodes and they were all gone. But for some reason it still records it in the other WL's I have.

I guess I was thinking of the old way, before the revamped the functionality.

That's funny, because even though I generally don't watch Access Hollywood, I'm glad that my Biggest Loser auto-recording wishlist has caught some of these segments. (I have an auto-recording wishlist because once in a while Biggest Loser is not shown on our actual NBC station but on an independent station when something shown locally preempts it..)

I wish i could block channels that i dont want a wish list to record. you can make a keywork with -ACCESS HOLLYWOOD then it wont record it.
