Want To Find The Next Brewers Game on TWC Navigator? The Current Way Sucks!

[Jack 1000]

Hey All,

As most of you know with Navigator, the guide organizes or I should say DISORGANIZES all keyboard content by Title Name.  I cannot wait for an update that reduces all search results to an easier format, especially for sports searches!  Looking a Baseball game to watch was such a nightmare!  The following remains one of Navigator's most potent shortcomings in searching.  Sorry if this repeats for some of you, but as newbies are getting converted, this is important to say:

1.) When Searching For Sports in Navigator, there is currently no way to search by names of games or teams.  Want to watch a Baseball game?  Go to B "Find Shows" and Select Theme (Sports) and scroll to "baseball.":

2.) What follows is NOT the names of games and teams, but a listing of baseball titles!  You cannot currently type on the keyboard the name of your favorite sports team and get listings related to that team.  If you want to watch a baseball game, you can't even type in the word "baseball" on the keyboard, but must type the first letter of the description of the show name, which happens to be "M."  M??  Yes, that's not a typo, you have to type "M" on the Keyboard for Major League Baseball.  Fortunately, you can still type "MLB" to get to Major League Baseball listings, but wouldn't it be easier of you could just go to the keyboard, "Find Shows," and do a Keyword Search for your favorite baseball team?

2.) You now have a list of "MLB Baseball Titles" using the above example.  But your not even CLOSE to finding what you want.  Using this example, you will find approximately 10-20 "MLB" baseball listings in the screen and have to open up each one in a tier by pressing the Select Key to see what team it is.

3.) Navigator users have to endure something like this:

MLB Baseball
MLB Baseball
MLB Baseball
MLB Baseball
MLB Baseball
MLB Baseball
MLB Baseball

4.)The dates are not even logically arranged!  A listing when pressing Select might say, "No upcoming shows are available for this title."  The next listing might say the same thing.  The third listing might show a game four days from now!  The fifth listing might show a game on now.  Even worse, when you scroll through the pages by pressing the Page +/- button it looks like, because you have 20 listings that look the same, that the list doesn't move.

5.) I gave up trying to find the game.  And note that doing a Theme Sports search for Baseball just brings up the same 10-20 Title show list.  This has been Navigator's biggest hindrance for the last five years.

6.) Title Searches are fine for names of movies, or when you have one or two instances when you know the name of a show you want to watch.  However, for Sports, you want to quickly find the team and the game you want to see in a well, organized format.  Navigator needs Keyword Search for these reasons on all the boxes ASAP.  Any easier way to find sports teams is better than how Navigator is now.

Many people don't even bother with the search un-feature.  We've all found it easier to search manually by just going to 1309 (fsnhd) in the guide and arrow through looking for mlb baseball.  When the game I want is not listed there I'll check WMLW.  (or if it is a Saturday afternoon game I'll check Fox, and Sunday night, ESPN)

Yea,

The search "Un Feature!"  That's exactly what it is!  Good call EZ!
