If you set up an auto-recording WishList for sports, consider using

the Overtime Scheduler™ (a recording option described on see page 62) to make sure you don’t miss the most exciting part of the game!

WishList for the movie’s title and year. In that case, the keyword entry might look like this: “THE FLY” 1986.)

After you make a WishList, you can periodically view what it finds by selecting “View all upcoming WishList programs,” or selecting an individual WishList, then selecting “View upcoming programs.” Then you can schedule recordings for the programs or episodes you want. (See page 78 for more details.)

Can a WishList Do More Than Search?

You can set a WishList to auto-record, and it will record every program the WishList finds. For example, with the Sean Connery Actor WishList, you would automatically collect Sean Connery action movies in the Now Playing List.

Some WishList searches are better suited to browsing than to auto-recording. For example, you could create a Category Only WishList for the category “Documentary.” This WishList would find every upcoming documentary. You could then occasionally browse the WishList and choose the upcoming documentaries you want to record.

The more specific a WishList is, the better suited it is to auto-recording. For example, an auto-recording Keyword WishList with the keywords KNICKS and BULLS, and category “Sports/Basketball” would only record basketball games with both of these teams—a great way to ensure that you enjoy this season’s rivalry. (For more on auto-recording a WishList, see page 78.)
