When Event Timers Overlap
If you try to set event timers for programs on at the same time and date, the
receiver displays a conflict menu with the dates and times of both programs. To
resolve the conflict, pick which timer to keep and which timer to delete.
Note: The receiver deletes one-time event timers right after they work. You
must delete all other types of timers yourself.
Tip: You can
use a Manual
Event Timer to
record a
“block” of
programs on
the same
channel, or to
make sure you
don’t miss the
last few
minutes of a
sports event
that goes into
overtime.
