After you create a WishList search, 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 67 for more details.)
Can a WishList Do More Than Search?
Yes it can! You can set a WishList to auto-record, and it will record every program the WishList finds, on any channel you receive. For example, if you set the Elizabeth Myer Actor WishList (discussed earlier) to auto-record, you would automatically collect Elizabeth Myer romance 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 might not want to record every documentary, but you could occasionally browse the WishList and choose the ones you do want to record.
The more specific a WishList search is, the better suited it is to auto-recording. For example, an auto-recording Keyword WishList with the keywords SNICKS and RABBITS, 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 67.)
