TIPS
General
• It's very important to enable the receiver to receive Nightly Updates. By doing this, the
Electronic Program Guide will have the most up-to-date information, and can adjust or
create timers accordingly. Enable Nightly Updates in Menu, Preferences, Updates,
and select an update time when you are not normally watching TV.
• Weekly, Daily, Monday-Friday timers will move only if the program is within one hour
earlier or four hours later than the original time the timer was set up. These timers will
adjust their length if their program's time block is extended.
• DISH Pass recordings may fill the hard drive quickly. If you have other timers you
know you don't want to be recorded over, choose Protect on those important pro-
grams.
DISH Pass
• After entering your search words, and selecting Create Timer, be sure to review the
timers that DISH Pass creates - some may not be what you are expecting. You can:
— Pick selected events to Skip. You will need to review future timers each time the
EPG is updated.
— Adjust your search terms and method.
• To adjust your search, delete the unwanted DISH Pass timer and try the following:
— Change your DISH Pass search term(s) to be more specific.
— Select Exact Match with the Title or Info.
— Choose DISH Pass when you select a future program within the EPG, Browse
Banner or Search. This will enter the program's exact title.
• When you select Info for your search, it looks for your search terms in both the
extended information and the program's title.
Daily Schedule
• Press the remote's DVR button twice to quickly get to the Daily Schedule.
• Use the arrow buttons then select a future program if you want to Skip or Restore a
timer. You can also choose to Protect it, or view the start early/end late settings.
— To change the start early/end late setting, you must select the event within the
Timers List.
— If the program is a DISH Pass program, you cannot change the start early or end
late times on an individual program; it must be changed on the DISH Pass
program, from the Timers List.
• Use the remote's Page Up button to see the previous days' timers. Review these tim-
ers if you want to see the result of your timers (e.g. if it recorded successfully or why it
might have been skipped).
