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.)
Title WishList searches are an 
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.
