Add this streaming video

This is a new feature I haven't seen discussed much. It is pretty useful, but it also needs to be fleshed out more. Basically as it stands you search for a video in TiVo's master search on the streaming services (i.e. a TV episode or a movie). You find it and have the option to add it to your list. They all go in a folder together. It is a good way to accumulate a list of movies to watch, a memory of sorts right on the TiVo list we look at every day.



I would like to see this expanded in three ways. For one, it needs the no rental or buy option. This is a no brainer. I want to be able to search for say Dallas Buyer's Club, currently for rent on Amazon and Vudu, and tell it no renting or buying. It would not then show up on my list until it is free on a service that I subscribe to.



Second, I would like TiVo to maintain the database by adding movies when they premiere in theaters, not when they first pop up on a service like Vudu. I want to be able to see the hype for something like the third Hunger Games movie when it comes out and add it then.



Third, to add the first two together, I want a tiered system of appearing and being deleted from my list. If a movie I added when it was in theaters becomes available to buy on Amazon, I want it to appear on my list. If I delete it, it reappears when it is available to rent. If I delete it again, it reappears when it is free on a streaming service. That is unless you set it to no rent or buy to begin with, then of course it would wait for Netflix or what have you.



All this feels like a natural extension of the new OnePass philosophy. Thoughts?
