I just want to point out that this thread almost made me miss the first couple episodes of the new Dr. Who.
When I first read it, Dr. Who wasn't in the guide data, so I set an autorecording wishlist. Which I thought was a good idea, since it turns out I will be out of town that Friday.
Unfortunately I set a wishlist for "Dr Who" (with the extra space necessary to deal with the missing .). But the guide data is "Doctor Who", fully spelled out. Oops.
Fortunately I checked and discovered my mistake.
Clearly the TiVo needs to be smart enough to do what I mean not what I say.
