nybackus Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Using the "search" option on DirecTV no longer produces anything playing on TCM. Is anyone else having this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Here, try this: http://www.directv.com/entertainment/guide On the left of the page, click on 250, since TCM is on Channel 256. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markfp2 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Nope. I have DirecTV and all seems normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nybackus Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 I actually subscribe to the TCM Guide, so I'm abreast of what's playing on TCM, but I can't use the "Search" option on DirecTV to find and schedule recordings in advance. I can only click "Record" when I find the item in the actual schedule. For instance, if I search for Angela Lansbury who is being featured this month, I come up empty-handed except for a couple of things on channels other than TCM. Are you finding the search option to be working for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nybackus Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Does your "Search" option bring up TCM movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I have an old Directv box that doesn't have a search feature. I thought you were talking about the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileys Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 A search for *Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo* , which is on tonight, works. A search for *Jane Eyre* , which airs January 30th, does not. Probably has something to do with their "upgrade" of the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nybackus Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Sorry; I realized I wasn't being very clear when I saw your response. No, my problem is with the search feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nybackus Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Hmm... I just did a search for Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo and it did show up in the results, but when I clicked on it, all I got was "There are no matching programs at this time." I gather when you click on it you get the showing on TCM? I don't understand why I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileys Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 *...but when I clicked on it, all I got was "There are no matching programs at this time."* - nyb That's just weird. Mine showed that it was on TCM at 8. My receiver is only four months old, so maybe that has something to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
