I'm guessing that it doesn't because there's no Tivo service down here so to speak?

The actors and keyword functions all work as expected, but the actors and genre based recording relies on the accuracy of the community guide data. Keywords work fine (but again provided the keyword is there).

The nztivo community guide slices do contain actors and other details where the data exists in the community guide.

The key is this relies on augmenting the data and the human aspect of this is less than consistent.

So the answer is yes it works... and no it is not totally reliable with actors and/or genre based recording.

There is a primative web inteface that allows show augmentation alraedy (including actors etc).

The next goal is to start a more complete web interface project that will allow the community to better manage the community guide.
