This may be because I just re-ran guided setup but now if I go to create an actor wishlist I get a blend of

Christian Name Surname e.g. John Wayne

and

Surname, Christian Name e.g. Wayne, John

On altpeg I'm only seeing 'John Wayne' whereas on the 'official' tivo I only see 'Wayne, John' so it appears you have both sets of data on your tivo.

On altepg 'John Wayne' currently gives me matches for Operation Pacific and The Comancheroes.

I get seven matches for both variants and have set a wishlist for both versions with Films as a filter.

After reading your post, I went and checked mine.

I had a Wishlist for "Hitchcock, Alfred"; and whilst that same combination shows up in the Directors list now I suspect it is only because I have that Wishlist. It was also present as "Alfred Hitchcock".

But, how is AltEPG generating that master list of directors? I also had a wishlist for "Poliakoff, Stephen", but there's no entry for "Stephen Poliakoff" from the new data.
