Default Actor wishlist (little TIVO content)

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.

Upper left, select PEOPLE and type the name in the box:

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.

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.

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.
