WishLists
What is a Wishlist?
A WishList is a powerful search feature that finds upcoming programs for you. It
keeps on searching automatically for as long as you keep the WishList.
For example, you could create a Category Only WishList by selecting the category
"Movies" and subcategory "Action/Adventure." You could then use it occasionally
to look at a list of all action 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 if Sean Connery were in them.
Keyword WishLists allow you to search by any words or phrases you choose-the
only limitation is that the words have to fit on the WishList screen. With Keyword
WishLists, you can look for something very specific. For example, the Keyword
WishList "GIANTS" with category "Football" would find all Giants football (but
not baseball) games for you. Title Wishlists are like Keyword WishLists, but search
in upcoming programs' titles only.
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 ke)'\'1ord
entry would look like this: "GEENA DA VIS" FLY. 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. Not only does this WishList
find a specific program-it finds the specific version!
You can periodically view what any of your WishLists have found by selecting
"View all upcoming WishList program," or selecting an individual WishList then
selecting "View upcoming programs." Then you can schedule recordings for the
programs or episodes you want. (See page 17 for more details.)

You can set a WishList to auto-record, and it will record every program the
WishList finds. For example, with the Sean Connery Actor WishList, you would
automatically collect Sean Connery action movies in Now Playing.
Some WishLists 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 browse the
WishList occasionally 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 KNICKS and
BULLS, 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
