There is a possibility to use the "Custom Record" in the recording menu to generate a search that
every time it discovers a new program with the word "tiger" in Titel, Description or Subtitel it will automaticly record
them if there are not rerruns. It will be something like this: (substitute Japan with your search word)

(program.title LIKE "%Japan%" 
     OR program.subtitle LIKE "%Japan%" 
     OR program.description LIKE "%Japan%") AND
program.previouslyshown = 0 

This should give you all the programms that have the word tiger in it and are new episodes.

Hope this helps
