Creating a WishList

From Search Using WishLists, select “Create new WishList.” Next, select the type of

WishList: Actor, Director, Category Only, Keyword, or Title. For most WishList

searches, you use the keypad on the next screen to spell out what you’re looking for.

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 Harrison Ford, 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. A subcategories list appears. Highlight a subcategory, then press

SELECT. To search all subcategories, you can also select “Don’t specify a subcategory.”

Actor or Director WishList Searches: Spell the person’s last name first by using the arrow

keys to move the selection box around the keypad and pressing SELECT to enter the

highlighted letter. As you select letters, a list of names appears to the right of the keypad.

If you see the person’s name, press the arrow

buttons to highlight the name you want and press

SELECT. To search for a name that is not on the

list, enter the name in the format: LAST NAME,

FIRST NAME. You must match the spelling of the

name exactly, and you must use a comma (in the

keypad under the letter W). If an actor or director is

not listed, and none of their programs are in the

Program Guide, try a Keyword WishList.
