Using the System
Overview
Refer to this section as you get familiar with how to set up Timers.
Timer Types
There are three types of timers:
•
DVR - Records an event onto your receiver for later viewing.
•
Auto - Automatically changes the channel for live viewing of the event.
•
Reminder - Creates an on-screen reminder when the event is about to
air.
Timer Frequency
Deciding how often you want to watch a program will help you make the best
choice:
•
All Episodes - Records each time that program is on that channel.
•
New Episodes - Records current season programs each time they occur
on that channel.
•
Once - Records a program once (good for movies, sporting events,
etc.).
•
Weekly - Records a program once a week, at that time, on that channel.
•
Daily - Records a program once a day, at that time, on that channel.
•
Monday-Friday - Records a program once a day, Monday through
Friday, at the selected time, on that channel.
•
DISH Pass - Records programs on all channels (default) or a specific
channel, based on your specific criteria. See page 77 for details.
Note: Weekly, Daily, and 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.
Timer Priorities
Priorities are used by the receiver to know which program you would prefer to
record, if multiple timers are scheduled to start at the same time.
