Keyword recording comes to IceTV Interactive

November 19th, 2008

We’ve just added two huge new features to the IceTV Interactive website.

Keyword Record

Keyword Recordings are a great way to automatically record shows by actor name, director name or by general topics of interest. Set up a Keyword Record for “Ricky Gervais” to record every single movie and show staring Ricky Gervais, no matter when they’re on. Set up a Keyword Recording for “cricket” to record every part of the action this summer regardless of channel, or where the game is being played.

To add a Keyword Record, search for something in the IceTV Interactive TV guide, then click on “Add a Keyword Record or Keyword Favourite”, set the desired options (including setting Action to Record), then click Add Keyword Record. Once a match for your Keyword is found, your device at home will go ahead and record it.

Keyword Favourite

Keyword Favourites are just like Keyword Recordings, except they don’t record. This is handy for keeping an eye on specific actors or concepts.

Start using IceTV’s new Keyword Record and Keyword Favourite features as part of IceTV Interactive today and take the guess work out of what’s on TV and when. Then sit back, relax and let IceTV do all the work for you.
