      If your Dish Network Receiver displays an error message when setting a manual event timer, it could be due to attempting to set it for a pay-per-view program or using invalid start/stop times. Manual event timers cannot be set for pay-per-view programs. Ensure the end time is after the start time, with at least a one-minute difference.
