WishLists
A WishList is a powerful search feature that finds upcoming programs. It keeps on
searching automatically for as long as you keep the WishList.
For example, you could create a Category Only WishList for the category “Movies” and
subcategory “Action/Adventure.” You could then use it occasionally to look at a list of all
action/adventure movies airing in the next two weeks. The list would be constantly
updated by your recorder’s daily calls for more program information.
You could search for something more specific by creating an Actor WishList for Sean
Connery, and then include the category “Movies,” and subcategory “Action.” This
WishList would only find action movies with Sean Connery.
With Keyword WishLists, you can look for something very specific. For example, the
Keyword WishList “GIANTS” with category “Football” would find Giants football (but
not baseball) games for you.
Here’s another example: You could make a Keyword WishList to find the 1986 remake of
the science fiction classic The Fly, starring Geena Davis. The keyword entry would look
like this: “GEENA DAVIS” FLY. Not only does this WishList find a specific program—it
finds the specific version! (You could also find this movie by making a Keyword
WishList for the movie’s title and year. In that case, the keyword entry might look like
this: “THE FLY” 1986.)
After you make a WishList, you can periodically view what it finds by selecting “View all
upcoming WishList programs,” or selecting an individual WishList, then selecting “View
upcoming programs.” Then you can schedule recordings for the programs or episodes you
want. (See page 42 for more details.)
