Search on Genre

Does anyone know how to search on genre? My favorite genre is SF, Action, Adventure, etc, but it seems I have to know what I'm searching for in order to search. I would like to get a list of up-coming shows that meet a specific genre. Does anyone know if this can be done?

Cheers!

When you do a search on TV select to search in all fields and then type the search term "Science Fiction". The other easy way is to setup a genre/category filter on a Malore tv guide and you will only see those shows. You can setup several views as well one for each search filter.

And/or, try TV -> Schedule Recordings -> Browse by Category.

I like Andy's way better than my earlier suggestions, way easier.

7 years using Sagetv and I still don't know all the ways to use it

I was just offering another alternative. The malore menus have more filter/sorting/grouping options; which menu you use depends on what you want to do.
