Setting Up a DishPASS Timer
DishPASS lets you create timers to record programs automatically based on
your search criteria. When the receiver finds programs that meet your search
criteria, it automatically sets a timer to record that program. As the program
guide is updated, DishPASS will continue to find and record based upon your
search criteria. Note that DishPASS only finds programs on satellite channels.
An example of how to use DishPASS may be that you saw a movie in the
theaters and you want to watch it again as soon as it comes out on a movie
channel. Use the
Exact Match and Title options, and then type the exact title of
the movie. If the movie is made available on a movie channel you subscribe to,
the receiver will automatically set a timer to record that movie for you.
