Finding Programs That Match Your Interests
If you know what you like, WishList searches are great! They allow you to find and
automatically record shows that match your interests, tastes, passions, and whims. You
can search for future programs with your favorite actor or director by creating an Actor or
Director WishList. You can also create a Category Only WishList to find programs
tailored to particular categories. The Keyword WishList and the Title WishList allow you
to search for specific words or phrases in program descriptions and titles.
Try a WishList!
You can use WishList searches to find upcoming programs that may interest you and then
automatically record them, if you want. It keeps on searching automatically for as long as
you keep the WishList.
For example, you could create a Category Only WishList for the category “Movies” and
subcategory “Comedy.” You could then use it occasionally to look at a list of all comedy
movies airing in the next two weeks. The list would be constantly updated by your
Recorder’s connections to the TiVo service for more program information.
You could search for something more specific by creating an Actor WishList for Sean
Connery, and then include the category “Movies,” and subcategory “Action.” This
WishList would only find action movies starring Sean Connery.
With a Keyword WishList, you can look for something very specific. For example, the
Keyword WishList GIANTS with category “Football” would find Giants football (but not
baseball) games for you.
Here’s another example. You could make a Keyword WishList to find the 1986 remake of
the science fiction classic The Fly, starring Geena Davis. Not only does this WishList find
Search Using a WishList only looks
at programs available on channels
selected in the Channels You Receive list.
