A Keyword or Title WishList
You can create a Keyword or Title WishList with one keyword or with several. For a
Keyword WishList, the TiVo service checks for your keywords in the program or episode
title, description, actor, director, year, and category information. A Title WishList works
very similarly, but the TiVo service only searches program and episode titles.
Spell your keyword(s) by using the arrow buttons to move around, then pressing select to
enter highlighted letters on the grid. You can enter as many characters as will fit on the
screen. When you have finished, use RIGHT arrow to highlight “Done creating
keywords,” then press SELECT or RIGHT arrow.
Using * in WishList Searches
To search for similar words in a Keyword or Title WishList, use the asterisk (*) as a
special symbol that replaces the endings of words. For example, the keyword AIRP*
would find shows containing “airport,” “airplane,” “airplanes,” as well as the movie
“Airplane!” To enter an asterisk, press the SLOW (
) button as you are spelling out
your keyword or title.
The asterisk can be helpful when you’re looking for a range of similar words, as in the
example above, or if you’re just not sure how something is spelled. Pop quiz: is it
“irresistable” or “irresistible?” Use the keyword IRRESIST* and don’t worry about it!
Two things to note about using the asterisk:
• It can only be used at the end of a keyword; it cannot be used to omit letters at the
beginning or in the middle of a word. (For example, AIR*NE or *PLANE would not
work.)
