2B. SEARCH TOOLS
With over 400 channels and two weeks of programming information, sometimes it can be
difficult to find what you’re looking for using the Guide. By using the Search Tools built into
your receiver, you can easily find programs by title, time, or genre.
TITLE SEARCH
Title Search
allows you to input the name of the show or movie you’re looking for. Matching
results will be displayed on the right side of the screen, where you can tune into the program,
see upcoming air dates, set up a recording or reminder, or get information about the show.
After selecting “Title Search” from the Menu Bar, use the
DIRECTIONAL ARROWS
and
ENTER
button to type letters into the Search tool. Results will begin to narrow as soon as the first letter
is entered. Once you see what you’re looking for, use the
RIGHT ARROW
to select the list, and
the
UP
or
DOWN
keys to select the program. Pressing
ENTER
will give you the Program Options
menu on the HDPVR, and the Upcoming Air Dates screen on the HDDSR.
Note: You cannot input accented characters into Title Search. Simply enter part of the title
which does not contain any accented characters (for example, “journal” in “téléjournal”) and
Search will find the program.
INTERESTS SEARCH
Interests Search
is useful when you’re not looking for a specific show, don’t know the title of the
show you’re looking for, or just want to find a particular genre to watch or record. Similar to Title
Search, as you select the time, category, and genre you are looking for, results will narrow or
expand on the right side of the screen.
After selecting “Interests” from the Menu Bar, use the
UP
and
DOWN
keys to select the time you
would like to search in. Examples include “anytime”, “up next”, or “this week”. Then, use the
RIGHT ARROW
to select the middle column where you can pick a broad category using the
UP
and
DOWN
keys. A variety of choices are available here, including “Movies”, “Sports”,
“Children”, and “HD”. Use the
RIGHT ARROW
again to select the third column, which will show
the available genres, such as “Action”, “Musical Comedy”, “Nature”, or “Talk”. Once the genre
you’re looking for has loaded, use the
RIGHT ARROW
to select the list, and the
UP
or
DOWN
keys to browse through the available programs. Pressing
ENTER
will give you the Program
Options menu on the HDPVR, and the Upcoming Air Dates screen on the HDDSR.
