:: Find Shows

ReplayTV can search through the Channel Guide for shows so you don’t have to. Find Shows is the perfect feature for those times 

when there is a show you want to record, but don’t know what time or channel it is on. You can also use it to find when your favor-

ite show will air next. Or, use Find Shows to search for a show based on a topic, interest, hobby, show title, or favorite actor or 

director. Theme-based channels record a specific amount of programming (1/2 hour, 2 hours, etc.) based on keywords that you 

choose.

1

Press Menu on the ReplayTV remote control.

2

Select 

Find Shows

.

3

Enter one or more keywords.

4

Select 

Done

.

5

Set Find Shows options.

6

Select 

Done

.

ReplayTV will search through your channel listings for shows matching the keyword. If you use multiple keywords, only 

shows appropriate to both keywords will be listed. Select 

Change search options

 if you want to change the keyword or search 

criteria.

7

Select 

Create the “Keyword(s)” Theme Channel

. You can also highlight an individual show and press REC once to record 

just this show, or twice to record all episodes of the show.

8

Set the recording options. See “Setting the Recording Options” on page 36 for more information.

9

Select 

Done

. Your show will be recorded at the scheduled time.

You can still create a theme even if there are no matches found 

in your search. For example, if you are looking for a movie that 

will not air for two weeks, it will not be found in your search 

because the Channel Guide only contains 12 days of listings.
