On-screen icons represent the status of the Scout feature:

This icon (displayed in the Scout menu) indicates that the information you specified has been found.

The Scout icon in the Channel Banner and the on-screen guides will have a white outline when a Scout search returns information.

Scout™

The Scout system icon lets you assign “Scouts” to search the guide for specific program information, such as actors’ names or program descriptions.

Select the Scout icon from a program guide to view the available Scout menu items. Then, select New Scout from the Scout menu (this button only appears if there is an empty Scout menu available).

Select Enter Text to set up the information the Scout feature will look for in the program guide. Use the on-screen keyboard to enter the desired search parameters. You can also use the Select Fields menu button to specify the type of information you are looking for.

For example, if you are interested in how to prepare food, enter a common term you think would occur in program information, like “cooking.” When you have finished entering your topic select Run Scout.

If “cooking” appears within a program title or program description, the program will be included in the Scout Results program list.

Once you have set up a Scout menu item, you can check its status by highlighting it. A highlighted binoculars icon means that a Scout menu item has found results.

Scout continually searches for requested information whether the box is on or off. You can also select Run Scout to do an immediate search after setting up a scout.

Check a Scout menu item’s results by selecting that Scout menu item. When you highlight and select that Scout, the results are displayed on the right side.

Down Arrow

The down arrow icon allows you to scroll down through other channels in the guide. Point to the down arrow icon and then press OK to scroll down through the program guide.
