Using WatchWord
™
Use WatchWord to search for specific words used in titles or descriptions.
Press the remote control
SEARCH button to access the setup pane shown below.
You can specify up to eight words to identify programming of interest to you.
While the DIRECTV Receiver is in standby mode, it searches program titles and
guide descriptions. Programs with matching words appear in the
Result pane.
Note: For WatchWord to have the opportunity to find programs with
matching words, your DIRECTV Receiver must be in standby mode (Off).
Allow the system to look for your words while you sleep or while you are at
work. The DIRECTV Receiver cannot search for words while it is turned on.
Highlight one of the eight choices and press SELECT. A pop-up panel appears
where you can enter a search word. If you entered “ALIEN,” WatchWord might
find the movie “Aliens” as well as any program which includes the word “alien”
in the description. You may also use partial words.
Use the pop-up button board to enter search words. You can highlight and
SELECT the toggle icon on the default button board (see figure) to change it
to a standard keyboard layout, if you desire. Highlight the desired letter using
the joystick. Press
SELECT to enter the letter. Select OK when you are
finished entering the desired search words.
