SKIPPA

SEARCHING

SEARCHING

A great feature of SKIPPA is the ability to search for a show and set a Recording,

Series Recording, or Reminder for that show. You can also search through your

recording list to quickly find a show to watch.

Press the button to launch the search menu.

SEARCH

Type a few letters (

e.g. PLA

) and all the possible results are listed on

top of the keyboard.

Once you see the desired show name (

e.g. Play School

), press the

number (

e.g. 2

) on the remote that corresponds to this show. All the

results for the chosen show are displayed.
