Search By Title

Search By Title finds programs, even if you just know the first part of the title.

To find a specific program:

1. If you wish, you can first narrow the search with a category and subcategory.

2. The next screen has a grid with numbers and

letters. On the keypad screen, spell out the title

by using the arrow buttons to move around,

then pressing select on each letter you want.

(Skip “a,” “an,” or “the.”) As you select letters,

an alphabetical list of programs appears to the

right of the keypad. Keep selecting letters until

you see your program.

(The CLEAR button on the remote erases

everything; the BACK button erases one letter at a time; FWD inserts a space.)

3. When you see your program, press RIGHT arrow until the highlight is in the list. To

move the highlight within the list, press the UP and DOWN arrows. You can also press

CHAN UP/DOWN to quickly move up or down the list.

4.

Press SELECT when the title you want is highlighted. The Program Information

screen will appear. Then you can view upcoming episodes, set up a Season Pass, or

record an individual showing.

To browse a category of upcoming programs: Choose a category and subcategory.

Numbers come before letters, so to start from the top, enter a zero.

Replace hyphens ( - ), slashes ( / )

and periods ( . ) with spaces. For

example, use 20 20 to search for the title

“20/20”. Any other marks, such as

apostrophes ( ’ ), asterisks ( * )

ampersands ( & ) and dollar signs ( $ ) are

ignored. For example, you would use

6 OCLOCK NEWS to search for the title

“6 O’Clock News.”

If you only know one word in the

title, use a Title Wishlist to find the

program. See page 40 for more

information.
