Tips for entering keywords

•To specify an exact phrase in a Keyword or Title WishList, surround a set of words

with quotation marks (to enter quotation marks, press PAUSE ( ). For example, the keyword PAUL SIMON might also turn up a documentary about Simon Bolivar with a

director whose name is Paul. Use “PAUL SIMON” to be certain you find programs that only feature Paul Simon.

•If you enter more than one keyword in Keyword or Title WishList searches, only programs that match all of your keywords (for example, “GEENA DAVIS” FLY) are found.

•If you want to include an exact phrase and additional keywords, there should be a space between the final quotation mark and the beginning of the next word. You can place a space character by selecting SP on the grid of letters or by pressing

FORWARD ( ).

•Replace hyphens ( - ), slashes ( / ) and periods ( . ) with spaces. For example, you would use the keyword phrase 20 20 to search for the title “20/20.” For an Actor WishList for Catherine Zeta-Jones, use ZETA JONES, CATHERINE. You can place a

space character by selecting SP on the grid of letters or by pressing FORWARD ( ).

Title WishList searches are an excellent way to search for a

program that is not on in the next couple of weeks, but that you would want to record if it ever came on. For example, if you want to record “The Maltese Falcon” the next time it airs, create a Title WishList for the phrase “Maltese Falcon.” Set the WishList to auto-record. If you

want to make sure the program will5 record, give the WishList a high priority

with the Season Pass Manager. (See page 59.) The next time “The Maltese Falcon” comes on, your WishList will record it.

•Any other marks, such as apostrophes ( ’ ) and ampersands ( & ), are ignored. For example, you would use the keyword phrase 6 OCLOCK NEWS to search for the title “6 O’Clock News.” (Note that commas ( , ) are also ignored, except in actor and director WishList searches, where they are essential.)

•For dollar signs ( $ ) substitute the letter S. For example, to find “$100,000 Pyramid,” use S100000. (In Search by Title, skip the dollar signs to find these titles.)

If you see too many programs when you select “View upcoming

programs,” the WishList you are using is probably better suited for searching and browsing than for auto-recording.
