Using the System
When You’ve Locked the Receiver
• If you try to watch a locked channel or program, erase a “protected” DVR
recording, or open the
Locks menu, the receiver displays a message that
tells you to enter the password.
• The receiver gives you three tries to enter the right password. If you can’t
do this, the receiver doesn’t let you try again for several minutes. If you
enter the right password, you can watch a locked channel or program or
open the
Locks menu.
• If you leave a locked channel or program or the
Locks menu, you must
enter the password again to see the channel, program, or
Locks menu
again.
• If you unlock the receiver, leave the locks unchanged, and then lock the
receiver again, you apply the same locks as before.
Personal Identification Number
You can set up a Personal Identification Number (PIN) for call-in requests
only. Anyone who calls the Customer Service Center must provide this PIN to
make any changes to your account, to buy services, or to get info. You can call
the Customer Service Center at 1-800-333-DISH (3474) at any time to set up a
PIN.
If you forget your PIN, you must call the Customer Service Center. We may
ask for more info to make sure it’s okay for you to make changes to your
account.
Use Event Timers
Many satellite TV programs and films are copyrighted. In some
cases, copyright law may apply to private, in-home recording.
Event timers let you set up the receiver to tune in future programs and/
or record them, with the DishDVR features or a VCR.
• An “event” is a program, sports event, pay per view movie, or anything
else on satellite TV.
• You can quickly set a one-time event timer with Quick Record. Please see
page 50.
• You can set an automatic event timer for a program listed with start and
stop times in the
Program Guide. This can be a program that comes on
each day or each week. Please see page 51.
•A manual event timer lets you set custom start and stop times for a timer.
You can use a manual timer to record part of a program, several programs
together, or parts of several programs. Please see page 52.
