Program Guides

Scout™
The Scout system icon lets you assign “Scouts” to search the guide for
specific program information, such as actors’ names or program
descriptions.
Select the Scout icon from a program guide to view the available Scout
menu items. Then, point to an available Scout menu item (one without a
checkmark by its name) and select it.
Select Enter Text to set up the information the Scout feature will look
for in the program guide. Use the on-screen keyboard to enter the
desired search parameters.
For example, if you are interested in how to prepare food, enter a
common term you think would occur in program information, like
“cooking.” When you have finished entering your topic select Run
Scout.
Select Enter Text to set up a Scout search.
If “cooking” appears within a program title or program description, the
program will be included in the Scout Results program list.

Once you have set up a Scout menu item, you can check its status by
highlighting it. A highlighted binoculars icon means that a Scout menu
item has found results.
