For example, the keyword HELI* would find shows containing “helicopter,” “heliport,” “helium,” as well as the movie “Helicopter Cops.” To enter an asterisk, press the SLOW ( ) button as you are spelling out your keyword or title. The asterisk can be helpful when you’re looking for a range of similar words, as in the example above, or if you’re just not sure how something is spelled. Pop quiz: is it “irresistible” or “irresistable?” Use the keyword IRRESIST* and don’t worry about it! Two things to note about using the asterisk: • It can only be used at a word’s end; it cannot be used to omit letters at the beginning or in the middle of a word. (For example, HELI*ER or *COPTER would not work.) • Be as specific as possible. For example, do not use keywords like TH*. There will not be enough room to show all the results of a keyword that is too general. DIRECTV Central Pick Programs To Record Search Using WishLists I Know What I Like I Know What I Like Title WishList searches are an Tips for entering keywords • To specify an exact phrase in a Keyword or Title WishList, surround a set of words with quotation marks (to enter quotation marks, press PAUSE ( ). For example, the keyword BILL SIMON might also turn up a documentary about Simon Branden with a director whose name is Bill. Use “BILL SIMON” to be certain you find programs that only feature Bill Simon. • If you enter more than one keyword in Keyword or Title WishList searches, only programs that match all of your keywords (for example, “CHRIS FIELDS” FRIGHT) are found. • If you want to include an exact phrase and additional keywords, there should be a space between the final quotation mark and the beginning of the next word. You can place a space character by selecting SP on the grid of letters or by pressing FORWARD ( ). • Replace hyphens ( - ), slashes ( / ) and periods ( . ) with spaces. For example, you would use the keyword phrase 10 10 to search for the title “10/10.” For an Actor WishList for Sarah Mills-Jones, use MILLS JONES, SARAH. You can place a space character by selecting SP on the grid of letters or by pressing FORWARD ( ). • Any other marks, such as apostrophes ( ’ ) and ampersands ( & ), are ignored. For example, you would use the keyword phrase 6 OCLOCK NEWS to search for the title “6 O’Clock News.” (Note that commas ( , ) are also ignored, except in actor and director WishList searches, where they are essential.) • For dollar signs ( $ ) substitute the letter S. For example, to find “$50,000 Chance,” use S50000. (In Search by Title, skip the dollar signs to find these titles.) excellent way to search for a program that is not on in the next couple of weeks, but that you would want to record if it ever came on. For example, if you want to record “The Shadow Country” the next time it airs, create a Title WishList for the phrase “Shadow Country.” Set the WishList to auto-record. If you want to make sure the program will record, give the WishList a high priority with the Season Pass Manager. (See page 59.) The next time “The Shadow Country” comes on, your WishList will record it. If you see too many programs when you select “View upcoming programs,” the WishList you are using is probably better suited for searching and browsing than for auto-recording. 5 DIRECTV Central Pick Programs to Record Search Using WishLists Chapter 5 F i nding and Recording Prog ram s If you create an auto-recording WishList with the category “Sports,” previews of pay per view programs may be recorded and appear on your Now Playing List.
