TIPS
• Make sure the Updates feature is enabled, as described on page 108. By enabling
this feature, the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) always will have the most up-to-date
information, and your DVR can automatically adjust or create timers accordingly.
• Weekly, Daily, and Monday-Friday timers move only if the program is within one hour
earlier or four hours later than the original time for which the timer was set. These
timer frequencies will adjust their length if their event’s time block is extended.
• DishPASS recordings may fill DVR storage quickly. If you have other timers you know
you don't want to be recorded over, choose Protect on those important programs.
• DVR Timers set for sporting events automatically end late by 60 minutes to allow for
overtime. If you want to change this setting, use Options when you set up the timer.
QUESTIONS
• Why is my receiver recording programs I didn’t schedule? A DishPASS timer
may include more programs than you initally planned. If you’d like to refine your
search, delete the DishPASS timer and start again as described on page 70.
• Why did the receiver delete a program that I recorded? If your recording was
unprotected and the receiver’s hard-disk drive fills up, your DVR deletes the oldest
unprotected recording. You can protect your recordings as described on page 65.
• Where can I go to find out why the receiver didn’t record something that I had
scheduled? Look at your Daily Schedule screen and refer to Reasons Why Timers
are Skipped on page 66.
