WatchWord
The WATCHWORD setup screen found on the HIRD-E2 model digital satellite receiver is used to
specify up to eight different words that can be used to identify
programming of interest to you. While the digital satellite receiver is
in standby mode the program titles and descriptions in the guide will
be searched. Programs which contain matching words, will be
included in the
WATCHWORD on-screen guide.
Note: For the WatchWord Guide to have the opportunity to find
programs with matching words, your digital satellite receiver must
be turned off for a period of time. It is recommended that you allow
your system to look for your words while you sleep or when you are
at work. It cannot search for words while it is turned on.
