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 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 Sean Connery Actor WishList, you would automatically

collect Sean Connery action 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 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 more on auto-recording a

WishList, see page 78.)

If you set up an auto-recording

WishList for sports, consider using

the Overtime Scheduler

(a recording

option described on see page 62) to make

sure you don’t miss the most exciting part

of the game!
