Why not try "Sheep Sh?"

No offence as some of my family and friend's are Welsh.

Nothing. It's because he isn't mentioned anywhere in the listings for The Voice

Also, I wouldn't use the "Sir" as he will very rarely be listed with that title.

I think the best way to set up a wishlist for a person is to "search" for them in the database first and then use the 'Create Wishlist' from the "More Info" option.

I often use the brackets option. So you could have put (The Voice) for title entry and (Jones Tom) for actor. That way, if Tivo sees a show with either The Voice as the title, ot Tom Jones as an actor, it will record it. Leaving the brackets off will require a show to have the voice as a title AND Tom Jones as an Actor.

I find the '-' ones very useful. For example, I have Jason Statham as an actor and -Crank as the title. That way it will record all Jason Statham films except Crank, which I have on DVD.

Apologies if you knew that already.

Much appreciated , im getting there trying to educate , it's a feature my parents haven't a clue with , so it's a bit like the blind leading the blind

Erm... because he's primarily a musician, perhaps

Edited to add:
Okay this is weird. If you do what I suggest above, a Wishlist for "Jones, Tom" does, as I said, not pick up 'The Voice UK' (as it is listed the the EPG.) However, the programme is listed in Tom Jones' entry as something he has appeared in. Huh?

Incidentally, muppetman11, in his entry, as mentioned above, there are many TV shows and a couple of films, but nothing from any music channel.

He also has two entries for "Jones, Tom" and one for "Jones, Tom Sir"!!

This just gets weirder

muppetman11 · 24-03-2012, 20:23

"Jones , Tom" brings upcoming programmes like Pop Go the sixties , The Fresh prince of Bel Air , Outtake TV.

Yes Henke the Tivo is a excellent box now all we need is more channels and content to go with it.

Why are you getting something you clearly don't like or want?
