Why what THIS recorded???

I have no idea if this has been suggested before, so my brilliant idea might not be so brilliant afterall.

I have several wish lists set up to auto record. Quite often I will find a recorded program in Now Playing that I have no clue as to why it was recorded. Now, some of my WL's are for very minor actors (a guy I went to High School with, etc), and they are usually not credited in the guide listing or in the opening credits. I usually have to watch half of the program to realize why it was recorded (he's not a very popular actor ;) )

It would be nice if there was a line in the program details that showed something like this:

Autorecorded from Wishlist: "Actor - James Stewart"

yeah, I know this is probably in the To Do list, but hey, I'm lazy. I never LOOK at the To Do list. I do look at the program details, though.

Just a thought.

My Tivo DOES do this.

Really? Maybe mine does too. I just never noticed it before...

I think if you have a series 2 stand alone tivo and turn on folders, anything recorded from a wishlist will be in the folder with that wishlists name.

So in your case, the movie would be in the "Actor - James Stewart" folder. (I think it would also be in a folder with the name of the movie, wishlists are weird like that).

So this would be a indirect way to find this information, but it is limited to the 4.x and 5.x software, which are only available on series II standalone and dvd units respectively.

Ah, that explains it.

Thanks.
