TiVo currently provides no good way of searching for foreign language shows (e.g., if you want to see all shows in Spanish, Japanese, and so forth). This information is in the program descriptions, but there is no way to perform searches based upon that information. Keyword searches are not a full substitute since they will turn up all shows with the language name (again, Spanish, Japanese, ...) anywhere in the program description (shows about the Spanish Armada, recently many shows about WWII, ...).

If such a feature is ever implemented, it would also be nice to be able to list only subtitled foreign language shows. (Program descriptions also currently include this information, but it is not always accurate.)
