Howto enter text for guide search?

[bpowell555]

Hi All

I programmed my one4all with the hauppauge remote so I would have thought to search the tv guide I could press the keypad to enter characters to search on, but it doesn't seem to work. Any other suggestions for how to enter text for searching the tv guide?

Cheers!

I've never managed to get it to work with an MVP. I'm not sure it is supported?

you are on the screen for the guide search right? (has letters down the left side in a vertical column)?

I am not sure of other ways, but I have selected the option in the config tool (misc tab) to use mobile phone keypad text entry... or something like that... basically means you press 2 and it types A, press 2 again: B, again C, I think you get the idea.... you enter text like you would on a mobile phone, then hit enter (ok) to search.

hope this helps

The problem I have is, How do you type in "24"?

hit '2' 4 times, then hit '4' 4 times, should cycle through a->b->c->2

I thought I tried that, but I will again, thanks! (Jack Bauer would have figured it out)

I could be wrong, I dont have an MVP, but since no-one has corrected me, I am guessing that what I said is not blatantly wrong.

if anyone that has an MVP and can confirm what I said is right, that would be great

Doesn't work, have 2 MVP's

thanks, apparantly everything I said should be disregarded, and sub should be asked

I'm sure the boss said it wasn't supported on the MVP - which is a real shame.
