When using this symbol, be as specific as possible. For example, do not use keywords

like TH*. There will not be enough room to show all the results of a keyword that is

too general.

Tips for entering keywords

To specify an exact phrase in a Keyword or Title WishList, surround a set of words

with quotation marks (to enter quotation marks, press PAUSE (

). For example,

the keyword PAUL SIMON might also turn up a documentary about Simon Bolivar

with a director whose name is Paul. Use “PAUL SIMON” to be certain you find

programs that only feature Paul Simon.

If you enter more than one keyword in Keyword or Title WishLists, they only find

programs that match all of your keywords (for example, “GEENA DAVIS” FLY).

If you want to include an exact phrase and additional keywords, there should be a

space between the final quotation mark and the beginning of the next word. You can

place a space character by selecting SP on the grid of letters.

Replace hyphens ( - ), slashes ( / ) and periods ( . ) with spaces. For example, you

would use the keyword phrase 20 20 to search for the title “20/20.” For an Actor

WishList for Catherine Zeta-Jones, use ZETA JONES, CATHERINE. You can place a

space character by selecting SP on the grid of letters or by pressing FWD (

).

Any other marks, such as apostrophes ( ’ ) and ampersands ( & ), are ignored. For

example, you would use the keyword phrase 6 OCLOCK NEWS to search for the title

“6 O’Clock News.” (Note that commas ( , ) are also ignored, except in actor and

director WishLists, where they are essential.)
