Find Programs That Match Your Interests

Try a WishListTM Search!

If you know what you like, WishList searches are great! A WishList search automatically finds programs that match your interests, tastes, passions, and whims on any channel you receive. And it keeps on searching for as long as you keep the WishList.

For example, you could create a Category Only WishList for the category “Movies” and subcategory “Action/Adventure.” You could then use it occasionally to look at a list of all action/adventure movies airing in the next two weeks. The list would be constantly updated by program guide data.

You could search for something more specific by creating an Actor WishList for Elizabeth Myer, and then include the category “Movies,” and subcategory “Romance.” This WishList would only find romance movies with Elizabeth Myer.

With a Keyword WishList, you can look for something very specific. For example, the Keyword WishList “LIGHTNING” with category “Football” would find Lightning football (but not baseball) games for you.

Here’s another example: You could create a Keyword WishList to find a 1986 remake of a movie called The Fright, starring Chris Fields. The keyword entry would look like this: “CHRIS FIELDS” FRIGHT. Not only does this WishList search find a specific program—it finds the specific version! (You could also find this movie by making a Keyword WishList for the movie’s title and year. In that case, the keyword entry might look like this: “THE FRIGHT” 1986.)
