Finding and Recording Programs
Browsing, Recording, and Editing WishList Searches
To browse all WishList items: Select “View all upcoming WishList programs.” This
displays a list of up to 10 programs from each of your WishList searches—and up to 200
programs total. The list is divided to display programs found by each WishList. To record
a program, select its title, then choose “Record this episode” on the Program Information
screen.
To browse an individual WishList: Highlight the WishList and press SELECT. Select
“View upcoming programs,” which searches through current program information and
creates a list of up to 200 unique upcoming programs that match this WishList. This list
displays the first airing of an episode or program.
To see all the showings of upcoming episodes (up to two weeks into the future), select the
title of the program in the “Upcoming programs” list generated by your WishList. Then
select “View upcoming episodes.” A comprehensive list appears, including several
episodes with showings on different channels and different time slots. The Program
Information screen also includes an option for recording a particular program.
Auto-recording WishList searches. When you create a WishList or select it, you can
choose to “Auto-record WishList programs.” This means every program the WishList
finds will be automatically recorded.
Auto-recording WishList searches themselves and their upcoming recordings are marked
with a star ( ). To be sure that all your WishList programs are recorded, give the
WishList a high priority in the Season Pass Manager. See page 59 for details.
To edit a WishList. Select the WishList, then select “Edit WishList.” You can change
your WishList—for example, to correct a misspelling or to add a category.
If you create an auto-recording
WishList with the category
“Sports,” previews of pay per view
programs may be recorded and appear on
your Now Playing List. These will be
marked as partial recordings on the
Program Information screen. You will not
be charged for such recordings.
