The quick overview is that the script takes each movie title in your queue and searches for the text on TiVo’s site. If it finds a match it puts a link after the movie to TiVo’s search page. I used a link so you can open the matches in other tabs. This is especially handy since it takes a while to search TiVo for all the movies in your queue. I also tried to make the link stand out a little so it would be easy to spot while scrolling through the page. Besides being a slow loader, the other downside is that any match will cause the link to appear. This is a little bit annoying but seems bearable. In theory you would then schedule the recording online via TiVo’s site. If you log into the TiVo site first you will only get search results for channels you are getting.
