External Hard Drive Addendum

Recording Future Programs
When the Receiver is Off
If the receiver is off when a timer is scheduled, the receiver responds accordingly:
•DVR—records the scheduled event.
Note: Keep the external hard drive on at all times.
•Auto—Turn on for the event.
• Reminder—Turn on at the scheduled time. After a period of time, if you do nothing,
the receiver turns off.
•Ext—Turn on for the event and tells the connected external device to record.
Special Considerations When Using Timers
• For Locked Programs—You must enter the receiver password before you can create
an automatic timer. You can create a manual timer for a locked program without
entering the password. However, if you do this, when the timer starts the receiver may
display only an error or password entry menu.
• For Pay-Per-View Programs—You must order a Pay-Per-View program when you
create a timer for it.
• For Blacked Out Programs—If you set a timer for a program that is blacked out in
your area, when the timer starts the receiver may only display an error.
