WishLists are an incredibly powerful feature that allow you to decide how you want to
search for upcoming programs. You can search for programs with a favorite actor or
director by creating an Actor or Director WishList. You can also create Category Only
WishLists to find programs that fit into useful categories and sub-categories. Keyword
WishLists allow you to search by any words or phrases you choose—the only
limitation is that the words have to fit on the WishList screen.
For example, you could create a Category Only WishList by selecting the category
"Movies" and subcategory "Action/Adventure." You could then use it occasionally to
look at a list of all upcoming action movies.
If you like action movies with Sean Connery, you could go a step further and create an
Actor WishList for him, and then include the category "Movies," and subcategory
"Action." This WishList would only find action movies if Sean Connery were in them.
With Keyword WishLists, you can go even further. For example, if you made a
Keyword WishList to search for the phrase "James Bond," the WishList would find
any programs that included "James Bond" on the
screen. By
setting this WishList to auto-record, you would automatically collect James Bond
movies in
.
Some WishLists are better suited to browsing than to recording. For example, you
could create a Category Only WishList for the category "Themes" and sub-category
"Documentary." This WishList would find every upcoming documentary. Rather than
record them all, you could just open the WishList occasionally to see a list of
upcoming documentaries.
To make a WishList:
1. From "Search Using WishLists," select "Create new WishList."
2. Select a kind of WishList: Actor, Director, Category Only or Keyword/Title.
