Season Pass, Recording Options, To Do List
Your DIRECTV ® DVR makes finding and recording programs easy—so easy that you
may find more programs to enjoy than you ever expected! Your DVR can help with this by
giving you simple ways to manage your recordings and make sure you watch what you
want, when you want to watch it.
Season Pass and Other Repeating Recordings
There are three types of recordings that repeat automatically:
•
Season Pass.
Records every episode of a series that airs on a certain channel—even if
the day or time slot changes! It is totally automatic and easy to set up. Just select a
program (from the DIRECTV Advanced Program Guide
TM , or from search results) and
choose “Get a Season Pass.”
•
Manual Repeating Recording.
Records on a specific channel at a specific time, just as
you would with a VCR. See page 53 for more information.
•
Auto-recording WishList.
Records all programs a WishList search finds. See page 59.
These three types of recordings also recordings have the following in common:
•
No duplicates within 28 days.
If you watch or delete a particular episode or showing,
it will not be recorded automatically again for 28 days. This prevents the Now Playing
List from filling up with shows you probably don’t want. If you want to record
duplicates, go to Recording Options, Show Type, and select “All (with duplicates).”
You can also schedule a single duplicate recording for a particular program.
•
Parental Controls.
If Parental Controls are on when you schedule a repeating
recording, the DVR checks its current program information to see if any upcoming
If some Season Pass programs are
not recording, you may need to
change their priority with the Season
Pass Manager. See page 45.
An exception to the 28-day,
no-duplicates feature may occur if
the program wasn’t watched but was
deleted from the Now Playing List to make
room for another recording you
requested. Another reason a duplicate
recording might be made is if the program
information describes the program
incorrectly.
