If you know what you like, WishList searches are great! They allow you to find and
automatically record shows that match your interests, tastes, passions, and whims. You
can search for future programs with your favorite actor or director by creating an Actor or
Director WishList. You can also create a Category Only WishList to find programs
tailored to particular categories. The Keyword WishList and the Title WishList allow you
to search for specific words or phrases in program descriptions and titles.

You could search for something more specific by creating an Actor WishList for Elizabeth
Myer, and then include the category "Movies," and subcategory "Romance." This
WishList would only find romance movies with Elizabeth Myer.
Using a Keyword WishList, you can look for something very specific. For example, the
Keyword WishList
