Tips

TIPS

• Make sure the Updates feature is enabled as described on page 91. This feature

ensures the Program Guide has the most up-to-date information and can 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 the timer was set up. These timers

adjust their length if their program's time block is extended, and the change is

reflected in the Program Guide.

• DishPASS recordings may fill the hard drive 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 typically have an end late time of 60 minutes to

allow for overtime. Change this setting in 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 planned. If you’d like to refine your search,

delete the DishPASS Timer and start again as described on page 59.

• Why did the receiver delete a program I recorded? Your recording was

unprotected. When the receiver fills, it writes over the oldest unprotected recording.

You can protect your recordings as described on page 55.

• Where can I go to find out why the receiver didn’t record something I

scheduled? Look at your Daily Schedule and refer to Reasons Why Timers are

Skipped on page 56.
