Search does not contain all possible results (blue TV app iOS)

  • The free text search in the TV app on iOS apparently does not return all possible search results. For example, today the film “That won’t last a year…!” on sixx. The same search query returns the desired result with Swisscom Box.

    Have you already observed this? Maybe a known bug?

    • maecke For me the iOS app on the iphone Sixx shows 20.15 to 22.05. The rental/purchase video is also displayed. Is there anything else? I don’t have access to my box right now.

      Addendum: The same thing is displayed on TV air on the PC:

      Thanks, @Gaeilgeoir
      Now it shows me this again in the app. Murphy’s law. I didn’t do anything special between these queries. Before that it didn’t work several times.

      I’ve had this happen several times in the iOS app, apparently since TV OS 5.x was rolled out. Unfortunately, I can’t see any particular pattern (always the same channels that would be affected or something like that).

      I’ll keep watching this. 🙂

      @maecke To be honest, I have to say that I search very, very rarely, with the iPhone app, much more often on the computer or the box, so I can’t judge the behavior, but if I ever notice something similar, I will report it too.

      @“x”#872562I search almost exclusively in the iOS app. The box’s free text search is too “fiddly” for me. I’ve been wishing for a square keyboard like Netflix, Apple TV & Co. for a long time. But different construction site… 😉

      @maecke I also prefer to use the voice control with the microphone button on the FB on the box. Although I was skeptical at first, I actually find it quite useful. Yes, I also find text input with FB tedious.

      @“x”#872562Use the Logitech Harmony. Don’t like having 2+ different FB lying around. And I’m not a fan of voice, except for CarPlay in the car. 😉 To each their own. Swisscom is currently the only provider of TV apps that I know of with a horizontal keyboard. This could be improved anyway.
