CREATING WISHLIST SEARCHES

(TIVO BOLT AND ROAMIO ONLY)
(Not applicable to the TiVo Mini.)
A WishList search finds shows that match your search criteria on any channel you receive —and it keeps on
searching for as long as you keep the WishList search.
You can search for something specific by creating a WishList search with multiple criteria: for instance, you might
create a WishList search for actor George Clooney, category Movies, and sub-category Action. This WishList
search would find action movies starring George Clooney.
You can even use WishList searches to find something very specific. For example, the Keyword GIANTS with
category Football would find Giants football games, but not Giants baseball games.
If you choose to auto-record matches to your WishList search, you'll find any recorded matches in your My
Shows list.
CREATING A WISHLIST SEARCH
Creating a WishList search is simple:
1. From the TiVo Central screen, move to 'Find TV, Movies, & Videos,' then press SELECT - the round button
at the center of the arrows circle on your remote.
2. Move to 'WishList Searches' and press SELECT.
3. Move to 'My WishLists' and press SELECT, then move to 'Create a new WishList Search' and press SELECT.
4. Next, start choosing criteria for your WishList search. Just move to the criteria you want, and press SELECT.
You can choose any or all of the following:
Keyword Search for shows with specific words in the show or episode title, description, actor, director, year,
or category.
Title Keyword Search for shows with specific words in the show or episode title.
Actor Search for shows with your favorite actor.
Director Search for shows by a specific director.
Category Search for specific categories and sub-categories of shows (for example, action movies or nature
documentaries).
5. After entering your initial search criteria, you'll return to the Create WishList Search screen. Continue adding
as many search criteria to your WishList search as you like. For instance, you could create a WishList search
like this:
• Keyword: Pirate
• Actor: Johnny Depp
• Category: Movies
Your results would include only pirate movies starring Johnny Depp.
6. When you're finished entering search criteria, select 'Done creating this WishList Search.'
After you've created the WishList search, your TiVo box will automatically record any shows matching your
search, unless you decide to turn the auto-recording feature off. Each auto-recording WishList Search and its
upcoming recordings are marked with a starred double check mark in To Do List and the OnePass Manager.
