I am switching from TIVO to comcast DVR mainly for HDTV reasons. I can get
most of the functionality that I want aside from the Actor wishlist function. Is there a web site or some other place on the web where one can search for a particular actor, even better if you can save the wishlist. Thanks Joe |

Thanks but I can't find the function on IMDB.
Where can you say search for "John Doe" and then have it show all the movies and TV shows (on TV) he will be on in the next couple of weeks? I could not find that.

I could not find that. Upper left, select PEOPLE and type the name in the box: http://tinyurl.com/5epfm It dosent show what they will be on in the next few weeks, only what they have appeared in. It dosent tie to Tribune to get current schedules. Apparently I misunderstood the question, sorry. -- David |

A Web site I used to visit monthly before I got TiVo was:
http://www.tv-now.com/stars/stars.html You can search a month's worth of listings for the most popular stars. Trouble is it shows all channels everywhere, not just the ones you actually get.

Is there a web site or some other place on the web Did you know that http://www.zap2it.com/ and TiVo use the same database? On the Search page there you can ask for Actor/Writer/Director. I did a search on Sandra Bullock and it came up with 32 results. -Joe |
