Timer issues
1. If a program is locked, you must enter the password to create a timer.
2. If you have set up the maximum number of event timers, the DTVPal
DVR displays an error message if you try to set up another, giving you
the option to delete an existing event timer.
3. If you try to set up a manual timer with invalid start or stop times (for
example, an event stop time that occurs before its start time), you will
see an error message.
4. If you stop or skip a timer that is repeated, the next showing of the event
is not affected. To stop all occurrences, you must delete the event timer.
(A timer with a frequency of Once is deleted when it has occurred.)
5. If you set a timer that misses the beginning or end of a program, you
may want to use or change the Start Early or End Late options for the
timer, or set a manual timer to begin and end at times you specify.
Events not recording
1. Ensure any event timers you have set that you want to record programs
are set as DVR timers, and not as Auto-Tune/Reminder timers.
2. If you set up a repeating event timer, but it does not record a showing of
the program, double-check that you set the correct frequency for that
program (Weekly, Daily, Mon-Fri.).
Events disappearing from DVR list
1. If you run out of space on your DTVPal DVR, recordings that are not
protected will begin to be erased, starting with the oldest unprotected
one, as needed to make room for new recordings, as they occur.
2. If you do not want a recording to be deleted, select Protect on the
screen for that recording.
