a specific program—it finds the specific version! The keyword entry would look like this: “GEENA DAVIS” FLY. (Using quotation marks in a Keyword WishList makes sure that the WishList only finds programs that match the exact phrase you have entered. This means that you will find The Fly, starring Geena Davis and not a documentary about flies narrated by Davis Geena!). 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 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 just the programs or episodes you want.
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 could automatically record Sean Connery action movies.
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 LAKERS and KINGS, 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 WishList searches, see page 89.)
