[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1186098, member: 109222"] Hi. I also had to fiddle until I found out how this is working... ;) First, there is no menu for this. Second, it's only working with Remote. If you are using keyboard the press of a letter set the focus to the first list item starting with this letter. If no such entry exists, nothing happens. On remote there are two ways how it can work. And to get it working in general you need to enable the "SMS style" in the settings first. If you press a number all entries containing one of the letters assigned to this number (SMS style) are kept in the list. Now you can press the second number and the list only contains all entries containing a possible combination of those two "numbers". Example... First you press "3" so the list contains every entry containing 3, D, E or F in the name. Second press is "2" so now the list only contains entries with 32, 3A, 3B, 3C, D2, DA, DB, DC, E2, EA, EB, EC, F2, FA, FB or FC in the name. The third press will bring you most often very close to where you want to already. Writing (and even reading) this is much more complicated than using it. Very intuitive once you've got a first idea about it. If you want to list all "Terminator" movies you can press 8, 3, 7, 6 and most likely only the "Terminator" movies are left in the list. If not you can go on with pressing 4, 6, 2, 8, 6, 7 as long as you need to narrow the list to what you want. You can change the "remote filtering" to the "starts with" behavior that is similar to the keyboard function. The switch is done by pressing "0" on the remote. Then "3" will set the focus to entries starting with 3. Next press on "3" sets the focus to the first entry starting with "D", next press is for "E" als the fourth press is for "F" exactly the same as typing SMS without "auto correction"... [/QUOTE]
