User manual for Hopper 2 with Sling?

[Dan]

Not sure if any Dish subscribers still read this newsgroup
anymore, but I just upgraded from the 722k to a Hopper 2
with Sling, but only the printed "Quick Start" guide was
included. Is there full user manual for this device in
pdf format? I searched the dish.com website to no avail.

The user manual for the 722k was detailed and comprehensive
in explaining how to use it features. For example, searching
for lists of current programs by theme, "Movies > All" was
easy. But the new Hopper 2 system doesn't appear to include
this essential feature, but only allows "predictive search"
by entering letters.

The only manual I could find by searching "mydish" is this one,
"DN000364_FINALedited3_optimized.pdf", which says you can use
"Themes and Search" but doesn't explain how to open the menu:
_______________________________________________________________

Using Themes

You can list programs by the theme of their contents, (for
example, just movies or just sports). Use Themes and Search to
quickly find programs based on:

Theme. You can look for something to watch by the program's
category or theme (Movies, Sports, News/Business, etc.), which
makes your search easier and your television viewing time more
enjoyable.

Sub-theme. You can use this selection to help you narrow the type
of program or event even further. The Sub-Theme feature is
different for each Theme category. For example, you can search
Movies for Comedy or Sports for Football.

Media Source. Use this selection if you want your search results
to be limited to a particular source, such as the Program Guide
listings, or just the My Recordings list. By default, results are
returned for all available source listings.

Scheduled. Use this selection if you want your search results to
be limited to a particular time (for example, to programs that are
On Now or coming On Next). You can even find Sports events that
are being broadcast live right now! By default, results are
returned for programs and events at any scheduled time.

Using Predictive Search

Predictive Search makes it easier than ever to locate programs
saved on your Hopper HD DVR or find what you are looking for on
live TV. To search for programming:

1 Press the SEARCH button on your remote control, or press the
MENU button and select the Search tile from the Main Menu screen.

2 Using the on-screen keyboard, start to type a title, actor's
name or keyword.

3 Results of your search will start to be displayed as soon as you
start typing. Typing more characters narrows the results.

Using Search History

After you have searched for programs or keywords, your receiver
keeps a history. You can access separate Search History
information for each TV in your Whole-Home DVR

no explanation on how to search by theme:
