Force add a tv show?

[Naylia]

Hey guys,

I just rebuilt my machine and instead of backing up my wiz.bin/etc... I went with a completely clean install. The only thing is that I can't add a couple shows because they are not showing anytime in the next two weeks. Is there anyway to manually force/add a show that's not currently in the guide? Thanks!

You can add a Favorite by keyword. So say you add a keyword favorite of Fantasy Island but it's not in the guide... When it finds an episode of Fantasy Island then and records it, you can then add that episode as a favorite and delete the keyword favorite...

Thanks! I'll give that a try. Cleverer than me you are....

Also, it's often better to add keyword favourites. Say you're a Star Wars geek. There are a thousand shows related to Star Wars over the years, but only one film of that name (which is no longer even called Star Wars). So add a "Star Wars" keyword Title favourite and you get everything with Star Wars anywhere in the title, including "I Was The Hairdresser on the Star Wars set". Perfect!
