[. . . ] The Keyword WishList and the Title WishList allow you to search for specific words or phrases in program descriptions and titles. Try a 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 program guide data. You could search for something more specific by creating an Actor WishList for Elizabeth Myer, and then include the category "Movies, " and subcategory "Romance. " This WishList would only find romance movies with Elizabeth Myer. Using a Keyword WishList, you can look for something very specific. For example, the Keyword WishList "LIGHTNING" with category "Football" would find Lightning football (but not baseball) games for you. Here's another example: You could make a Keyword WishList to find a 1986 remake of ta movie called The Fright, starring Chris Fields. The keyword entry would look like this: "CHRIS FIELDS" FRIGHT. Not only does this WishList find a specific program--it finds the specific version!(You could also find this movie by making a Keyword 5 DIRECTV Central Pick Programs To Record Search Using WishLists 73 Chapter 5 Finding and Recording Programs WishList for the movie's title and year. In that case, the keyword entry might look like this: "THE FRIGHT" 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 78 for more details. ) Can a WishList Do More Than Search?You can set a WishList to auto-record, and it will record every program the WishList finds. For example, with the Elizabeth Myer Actor WishList, you would automatically collect Elizabeth Myer romance movies in the Now Playing List. Some WishList searches are better suited to browsing than to auto-recording. For example, you could create a Category Only WishList for the category "Documentary. " This WishList would find every upcoming documentary. You could then occasionally browse the WishList and choose the upcoming documentaries you want to record. The more specific a WishList is, the better suited it is to auto-recording. For example, an auto-recording Keyword WishList with the keywords SNICKS and RABBITS, and category "Sports/Basketball" would only record basketball games with both of these teams--a great way to ensure that you enjoy this season's rivalry. (For more on autorecording a WishList, see page 78. ) If you set up an auto-recording WishList for sports, consider using the Overtime SchedulerTM (a recording option described on see page 62) to make sure you don't miss the most exciting part of the game! 74 DIRECTV Central Pick Programs To Record Search Using WishLists I Know What I Like Creating a WishList From Search Using WishLists, select "Create new WishList.

As the last step, you'll then be able to select a category and subcategory to narrow your search. For example, if you want movies with Elizabeth Myer, but not documentaries or talk shows, select "Movies. " To search every category, select "Don't specify a category. " Category Only WishList: Use the UP and DOWN buttons to highlight a category, then press SELECT.
