How do you Browse by Category via Smart Search for listings on a DirecTV receiver?

The old suggested method (?) was to enter a blank space in the Smart Search area, then on the next screen you could select what category to show listings for. That no longer works.

There is no way to bypass the Smart Search form without entering a letter/number and only browse categories. Entering the category as a keyword does not always bring up the category as a search keyword result. Entering the category as a keyword and then searching either "All Categories" or in a specific category does not return the right results. Entering one of the boolean search terms (such as "AALL") by itself does not work.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to browse by categories? Am I missing something?

Try going to the Grid and hitting the Yellow Button. You should see an option to search by category.
