When Event Timers Overlap
If you try to set e vent timers for programs on a t the same time and date, the
receiver displa ys a conflict menu with the dates and times of both programs.
To resolve the conflict, pick which timer to ke ep a nd which timer to delete.
Note: The receiver de letes one-time event timers right after they work. You
must delete all other types of timers yourself.

record a
“block” of
programs on
the same

don’t miss the
last few
minutes of a
sports event
