The Scout button lets you assign “Scouts” to search the guide for very
specific program information, such as actor’s names or program
descriptions. Select the
Scout button to view the available scouts.
Point to an available Scout, and select it. Select the Enter Text button
to set up the information the Scout will look for in the program guide.
Use the on-screen keyboard to enter the desired search parameters.
For example, if you are interested in National Basketball Association
events, enter a common term you might see in program information,
like “NBA”.
Select Enter Text to set up a Scout.
If “NBA” appears within a program title or program description, the
program will be included in the
Scout Results program list.
The Scouts will search for information when the DSS ® receiver is off.
(This may take up to 30 minutes for a full guide search.) You can check
a
Scout’s results by selecting a Scout.
