timy Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 You can do a title search for any show on foxtel. It will tell you all the dates and times it will be showing. Press the active button to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamBBBam Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 By 'search' you must mean a list of titles in alphabetical order. The search function on the IQHD boxes is of a very poor quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring up the A-Z and if you're looking for "Kick Boxing", press the 5 button twice and it will liist all programs beginning with K, jsut scroll through until you get to Kick Boxing. It's a Claytons Search but it's still useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamBBBam Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 It's not that easy to use though, hopefully it will get less "clunky". You're right.. for example, it doesn't find 'next' when there are clearly Start Trek TNG episodes coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miata Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 You're right.. for example, it doesn't find 'next' when there are clearly Start Trek TNG episodes coming up. I do wish they'd include Series and Ep. number for such shows as Fifth Gear. They do it in the on-line guide. With 19 Series already, it would take the guesswork out if it.

miata Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Well, it isn't perfect. It can't find the Graham Norton Shows first airing on TEN next Saturday night at 8.30. Neither can the on-line guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
