Summary:
Put a parser in the Search function to remove "the" (and perhaps "a") from the beginning of program titles so that programs begin with the first "significant" word in their title

Area:
MyTV

Description:
Ever searched for a program only to realize that it wasn't under the letter you thought it should be because it started with "The"? I propose that only for the program search (not for OSD or EPG) that those beginning words be removed.
So, "The Dresden files" would become "Dresden files" and begin with "D" rather than "T", or "The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron" would become simply "Adventures of Jimmy Neutron" and start with "A". You might have this as an option in MP setup under TV as well.

Hehe

As there are probably a lot more non-english program titles than english ones out there in the TV transmissions all over the world, to be politically correct we would have to remove "le, la, les, der, die, das, ......." too
