Using Themes and Search

USING THEMES AND SEARCH

Use the Themes and Search Feature to find exactly what you want to watch. This section shows you how to use Themes to find your favorite programs by type (such as movies, sports, or news), or by keyword (if you’re looking for a particular actor or description).

You can list and choose programs by the theme of their contents, for example, just movies or just sports. Use Themes and Search to quickly find programs based on:

•Theme and Sub-theme. Search for programs by category (such as Movies or Sports). Use sub-theme to narrow the type of program. The Sub-Theme feature is dif- ferent for each Theme category.

•Keyword. Use this selection to be even more specific (for example, actor or descrip- tion). You can even search for something to watch just by Keyword. This feature also categorizes programs on off-air channels (if an over-the-air antenna is connected to the receiver as described on page 93). You can search for events two ways:

–Select Title to search for the words that appear in the title of a program.

–Select Info to search for words that are in the program description or title.

Enter the Keyword(s) in the Search Criteria Field in one of two ways:

–Use the on-screen keyboard.

–Use the letters on the NUMBER PAD.
