More Details
There’s a variety of program information sent along with standard broadcast
signals, and your digital satellite receiver can display much of it (if available).
The More Details menu can offer information (if available) about Actors and
Roles, the Director, the Writer, Original Materials, the Production Studio,
Awards, Keywords associated with the program, and the original release Date
and Run Length. Just use the remote control’s arrow and OK buttons to
highlight and select the desired button, and to display more information.
You can even use the displayed information in the More Details menu to look
for matching information in the stored guide programs, or to create search
criteria for use with the Scout™ search feature of your digital satellite receiver.
To Access More Details:
1. Highlight a desired program in the on-screen guide and press the remote
control’s INFO button.
2. Highlight and select More Details.
Note: The More Details button is displayed in the Program Details menu
only if more information is available.
3. Highlight and select the desired on-screen information button to display the
details on the opposite side of the screen.
To search for other programs with similar information:
4. Highlight the desired information on the right side of the menu and press
the remote control’s OK button. This will display any other program stored
in the on-screen guides that shares the highlighted information.
To save your search as Scout Criteria:

select the Save as Scout button. You will be given on-screen instructions to
complete this task.
Tip
Your digital satellite receiver can
store up to three days of information,
so retrieving data can take a little
time.
It can take up to 6 hours to download
all three days of information when
turning the system on after the Guide
information has been lost.
