If you know what you like, WishList searches are great! They allow you to find and
automatically record shows that match your interests, tastes, passions, and whims. You
can search for future programs with your favorite actor or director by creating an Actor or
Director WishList. You can also create a Category Only WishList to find programs
tailored to particular categories. 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 Sean
Connery, and then include the category “Movies,” and subcategory “Action.” This
WishList would only find action movies with Sean Connery.
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 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
