Browsing, Recording, and Editing WishList Searches

To browse all WishList items: Select “View all upcoming WishList programs.” This

displays a list of up to 10 programs from each of your WishList searches—and up to 200

programs total. The list is divided to display programs found by each WishList. To record

a program, select its title, then choose “Record this episode” on the Program Information

screen.

To browse an individual WishList: Highlight the WishList and press SELECT. Select

“View upcoming programs,” which searches through current program information and

creates a list of up to 200 unique upcoming programs that match this WishList. This list

displays the first airing of an episode or program.

To see all the showings of upcoming episodes (up to two weeks into the future), select the

title of the program in the “Upcoming programs” list generated by your WishList. Then

select “View upcoming episodes.” A comprehensive list appears, including several

episodes with showings on different channels and different time slots. The Program

Information screen also includes an option for recording a particular program.

Auto-recording WishList searches. When you create a WishList or select it, you can

choose to “Auto-record WishList programs.” This means every program the WishList

finds will be automatically recorded.

Auto-recording WishList searches themselves and their upcoming recordings are marked

with a star (

). To be sure that all your WishList programs are recorded, give the

WishList a high priority in the Season Pass Manager. See page 59 for details.

To edit a WishList. Select the WishList, then select “Edit WishList.” You can change your

WishList—for example, to correct a misspelling or to add a category.

If you create an auto-recording

WishList with the category

“Sports,” previews of pay per view

programs may be recorded and appear on

your Now Playing List. These will be

marked as partial recordings on the

Program Information screen. You will not

be charged for such recordings.
