Chapter 4 Title WishList searches are an excellent way to search for a program that is not on in the next couple of weeks, but that you would want to record if it ever came on. For example, if you want to record "The Shadow Country" the next time it airs, create a Title WishList for the phrase "Shadow Country." Set the WishList to auto-record. If you want to make sure the program will record, give the WishList a high priority with the Season Pass Manager. (See page 42.) The next time "The Shadow Country" comes on, your WishList will record it. If you see too many programs when you select "View upcoming programs," the WishList you are using is probably better suited for searching and browsing than for auto-recording. 58 Pick Programs to Record Tips for entering keywords: • To specify an exact phrase in a Keyword or Title WishList, surround a set of words with quotation marks (to enter quotation marks, press PAUSE ( ). For example, the keyword BILL SIMON might also turn up a documentary about Simon Branden with a director whose name is Bill. Use "BILL SIMON" to be certain you find programs that only feature Bill Simon. • If you enter more than one keyword in Keyword or Title WishList searches, only programs that match all of your keywords (for example, "CHRIS FIELDS" FRIGHT) are found. • If you want to include an exact phrase and additional keywords, there should be a space between the final quotation mark and the beginning of the next word. You can place a space character by selecting SP on the grid of letters or by pressing FORWARD ( ). • Replace hyphens ( - ), slashes ( / ) and periods ( . ) with spaces. For example, you would use the keyword phrase 10 10 to search for the title "10/10." For an Actor WishList for Sarah Mills-Jones, use MILLS JONES, SARAH. You can place a space character by selecting SP on the grid of letters or by pressing FORWARD ( ). • Any other marks, such as apostrophes ( ' ) and ampersands ( & ), are ignored. For example, you would use the keyword phrase 6 OCLOCK NEWS to search for the title "6 O'Clock News." (Note that commas ( , ) are also ignored, except in actor and director WishList searches, where they are essential.) • For dollar signs ( $ ) substitute the letter S. For example, to find "$50,000 Chance," use S50000. (In Search by Title, skip the dollar signs to find these titles.) DIRECTV Central Pick Programs to Record Search Using a WishList

Tips for entering keywords:
•
To specify an exact phrase in a Keyword or Title WishList, surround a set of words
with quotation marks (to enter quotation marks, press PAUSE (
). For example, the
keyword
BILL SIMON
might also turn up a documentary about Simon Branden with a
director whose name is Bill. Use
“BILL SIMON”
to be certain you find programs that
only feature Bill Simon.
•
If you enter more than one keyword in Keyword or Title WishList searches, only
programs that match all of your keywords (for example,
“CHRIS FIELDS” FRIGHT)
are found
.
•
If you want to include an exact phrase and additional keywords, there should be a
space between the final quotation mark and the beginning of the next word. You can
place a space character by selecting SP on the grid of letters or by pressing
FORWARD (
).
•
Replace hyphens ( - ), slashes ( / ) and periods ( . ) with spaces. For example, you
would use the keyword phrase
10 10
to search for the title “
10/10
.” For an Actor
WishList for Sarah Mills-Jones, use
MILLS JONES, SARAH
. You can place a space
character by selecting SP on the grid of letters or by pressing FORWARD (
).
•
Any other marks, such as apostrophes ( ’ ) and ampersands ( & ), are ignored. For
example, you would use the keyword phrase
6 OCLOCK NEWS
to search for the title
“
6 O’Clock News
.” (Note that commas ( , ) are also ignored, except in actor and
director WishList searches, where they are essential.)
•
For dollar signs ( $ ) substitute the letter S. For example, to find “
$50,000 Chance,
”
use
S50000
. (In Search by Title, skip the dollar signs to find these titles.)
Title WishList searches are an
excellent way to search for a
program that is not on in the next couple
of weeks, but that you would want to
record if it ever came on. For example, if
you want to record “The Shadow Country”
the next time it airs, create a Title
WishList for the phrase “Shadow
Country.” Set the WishList to auto-record.
If you want to make sure the program will
record, give the WishList a high priority
with the Season Pass Manager. (See page
42.) The next time “The Shadow Country”
comes on, your WishList will record it.
If you see too many programs
when you select “View upcoming
programs,” the WishList you are using is
probably better suited for searching and
browsing than for auto-recording.
