Search by Title

"Search By Title" enables the user to search the entire Program Guide data for shows matching a specified string. To access it, start at the Home menu, an example of which is shown below:


Select "Setup Recordings," which will enter the following menu:


Select "Search By Title," and the screen pictured below will appear.

Enter a word or phrase to search on.

·

Keyboard: Type the word or phrase.

·

Mouse: Spell the word or phrase by clicking on a combination of letters and, if necessary, the "Space" entry displayed.

·

Remote Control: Use the directional pad to select a letter or the "Space" entry.

If a desired show not found in the Program Guide begins with the word "The," try searching with the "The" at the beginning and end of the search phrase. For example, a show called "The Feebles" may appear in this list as "The Feebles" or "Feebles, The." The same applies to shows beginning with the word "A" -- for example, be sure to search on both "A Kiss of Death" and "Kiss of Death, A" to ensure that the proper show is found.

While the text is being entered, the titles of shows will begin appearing below it, as in the example above. This search simply alphabetizes every show in the Program Guide, and places the selection bar at the most appropriate section in that list. When finished, click "Accept," hit the ENTER key on the keyboard, or highlight "Accept" and hit OK or ENTER. The following screen will appear:


Scroll through the list to find the desired entry:

·

Keyboard: Use the UPARROW and DOWNARROW keys to move the selection bar once, or the PGUP or PGDN keys to move up or down by page. Hit ENTER when the desired show is highlighted.

·

Mouse: Use the scroll wheel or click on the arrows provided to scroll to the desired entry. Click on the desired show when it is found.

·

Remote Control: Use the directional pad to move the selection bar in increments of one, or use the CHUP or CHDN buttons (only works on specific models of remotes) to move up or down by page. Hit OK or ENTER when the desired show is highlighted.

Once the desired show has been selected, the following screen will appear:



As in previous examples, the options presented on this screen depend on the type of show being selected:

If an episodic show is selected, the following options will be available:

If a movie is selected, the following options will be available:

· Record all episodes: Records all episodes of the selected show on that channel.   · Record all new episodes: Records only first-run episodes of the selected show on the channel.   · View upcoming episodes: Displays a list of upcoming episodes of the show and their airtimes, enabling the user to schedule any of them for recording.

· Record this movie at this time: Begins recording the movie from the point Live TV first began showing it.   · Record this movie within 30 days: Enables the SnapStream Enterprise TV Server to delay the recording of this movie in case other recordings scheduled conflict with it. Read more about scheduling conflicts in the "Conflict Resolution" section of this document.   · View upcoming airings of this movie: Displays a list of times and dates this movie will be airing in the future (if any), allowing the user to schedule any of them for recording.

Once the desired selection has been made, the recording will be added to the queue of upcoming recordings.
