Search for Shows

Search for Shows
Use the "Search for Shows" option to find programs based on Title, Person,
Channel or Keyword. This powerful tool finds all programs that match your
criterion within the 7-day (3 ½-day for standard-definition receivers) program
guide.
Press MENU on the remote, select "Search for Shows" and then select one of
the following categories:

Search by Title

When you know the title you are searching for, enter it one letter at a time in
the on-screen keypad by highlighting the letter you want and pressing SELECT.
You can choose Delete (DEL) to get rid of the last letter or Clear (CLR) to start
over if you make a mistake. You do not have to enter the initial article like "The"
or "An." Each time you enter a letter, the search becomes more precise,
however you don't always have to enter the complete title. Just the first few
letters will usually get you close enough. Then you can move the highlight to
the list on the right and scroll or page down until you see your title. Because
your title can appear on several channels, it may have a folder icon next to it.
Press SELECT on the show to bring up the information screen.
