Why can I only watch part of my recording?
There are a couple of reasons why a recording might be shorter than you expected:
Ø
If the video signal from your satellite dish is lost during a program, the recorder will cut out
the blank spots of the recording. For example, if the signal was lost for 5 minutes, a 30
minute program will show as a 25 minute recording on the Program Information screen.
Ø
If a member of your household changes channels during a recording, the recording will
stop at the time of the channel change.
Note: Networks sometimes do not air programs on schedule.
Can I jump back and forth between two channels?
You can switch back and forth between the current and last channel by pressing the ENTER key
on your DIRECTV
Digital Satellite Recorder remote control.
Additionally, if you have dual-tuners active, you can switch between the two tuners by pressing the
DOWN key on your remote. This will allow you to watch two shows while maintaining a 30 minute
buffer on each of them.
