Using Timers
Event timers let you set up the receiver to tune in future programs and/or record
them with the DVR features. An “event” is a program, sports event, pay per
view movie, or anything else on satellite TV.
• You can set a one-time event timer with
Quick Record.
• 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.
• You can edit and delete timers from both TV outputs.
• A manual event timer lets you set custom start and stop times for a
timer.
Event Timer Types
DVR—Reminds you that a program is about to start, tunes the receiver to the
program when it begins, and starts recording the event.
Remember: Most TV
programs and films
are copyrighted. In
some cases,
copyright law may
apply to private,
in-home recording.
Auto-Tune—Reminds you that a program is about to start and tunes the receiver
to the program when it begins.
Reminder—Reminds you that a program is about to start.
Event Timer Frequency
Once—Applies to a one-time program. The receiver deletes this timer when the
timer operates.
Mon.-Fri.—Applies to a program that is scheduled for Monday through Friday
on the same channel at the same time each day.
Daily—Applies to a program that is scheduled for Monday through Sunday on
the same channel at the same time each day.
Weekly—Applies to a program that is scheduled for once a week on the same
channel at the same time on the same day.
Before an Event Timer Operates
Two minutes before an event timer operates, the receiver displays a small clock
on the TV screen. This clock disappears when the program begins. While the
clock is displayed, you may do either one of the following:
• Press the CANCEL button to clear the symbol from the TV
screen.
This does not affect the timer; it will operate.
• Press the INFO button to see more information on the event
timer. If you do this, you will have the following choices:
– Select the
OK or Cancel option to continue with the event
timer.
– Select the
Stop Timer or No option to stop the event timer.
Note: This stops only this instance of a Mon.-Fri., Daily or Weekly
timer. The timer will operate the next time it is scheduled. To stop
all operations of such a timer, you must delete the timer. For a
Reminder Event Timer, instead of having the option to stop the
timer, you have the option to tune to the program.
