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.

For example, if you want movies with Elizabeth Myer, 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. 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. DIRECTV Central Pick Programs to Record Search Using a WishList

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 Elizabeth Myer, but not documentaries or
talk shows, select “Movies.” To search every category, select “Don’t specify a category.”

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.”

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:
