Wasn't there a way to do Keyword>Leisure>Travel in 2.0..z16? Now that I have 2.0.1 the "travel" subcategory is gone. Or, was it ever there?!? http://www.avsforum.com/ubbtivo/confused.gif

I still have Z16 and I'm pretty sure I searched the category (which I assume you meant) for Travel lately - isn't it under 'Arts and Living'?

I can't remember where it was with z16, but I can't find it anywhere on 2.0.1. No big deal but have a 3 week wedding/honeymoon in Hawaii this October and just want to record travel type shows. My current Hawaii wishlist has been returning travel shows AND shows like Baywatch Hawaii, Saved by the Bell go to Hawaii etc...Don't get me wrong, these are great shows (read sarcasm) but not what I'm looking for at this time.

Sounds like you might be a taker on some of the proposed "enhancements" to the wishlist search engine. It's been noted that TiVo may release (for some type of small fee of some sort) boolean logic ("or" and "not"s) that would allow you to say in one wishlist ("Hawaii", but not "Baywatch"). Similar to a "where" clause in a SQL statement, etc.

The functionality may be a little complicated, plus the number of people who actually take advantage of it may not justify building it into the general code, but a little purchasable "key" may activate some additionaly "power user" features that some folks would be willing to spend some extra $$ on, that others wouldn't.

This is all speculation, but there has definitely been statements made by mgmt of TiVo and R&B that they are considering a variety of options for purchasable advanced features. Who knows, maybe with all the competition they'll just build it in, but you'll have to flip a switch/default in the setup screen to turn on the features to keep things simplier for those who would be just confused with certain advanced features.
