You can find programs to watch by using the Search feature of the receiver. This feature
will search all channels, including off-air channels (if an off-air antenna is connected to the
receiver as described on page 77), and find programs that match keywords that you enter.
Using the Search Feature
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 search word(s) in the Search Criteria Field in one of two ways (see page 15):
• Use the virtual keyboard.
• Use the letters on the NUMBER PAD.
If you select a program that is on now, the receiver tunes to that program. If you choose a
future program, the Create Timer screen will display. See
Chapter 8 - Recording Future
