Finding Programs Using A Wishlist Search - TiVo Media Device Manual

Finding Programs Using a WishList
A WishList search finds programs that match your interests, tastes, and whims on any channel
you receive, and it keeps on searching for as long as you keep the WishList search.
For example, you could create a Category Only WishList search for the category Movies and
subcategory Comedy. You could then occasionally browse a list of all comedy movies airing in
the next week. The list is updated each time your media device connects to the TiVo
You could search for something more specific by creating an Actor WishList search for Sean
Connery, and then include the category Movies, and subcategory Action. This WishList search
would find action movies starring Sean Connery.
Note: WishList functionality is only available for channels which display guide data in the
Guide.
Can the WishList Feature Do More Than Search?
Yes it can! You can set a WishList search to auto-record, and it will record every show it finds,
on any channel you receive. For example, with the Sean Connery Actor WishList search, you
would automatically collect Sean Connery action movies in the Now Playing List.
Some WishList searches are better suited to auto-recording than others. For example, a
Category Only WishList search for the category Documentary would find every upcoming
documentary. You might not want to record them all, but you could occasionally browse the
search results list and choose the ones you do want to record.
