Timers and Recordings
Timer Options
The Timer Options screen lets you set the following (not used on all options screens):
•
Protect Event
—to prevent your programs from being erased when the DVR fills up.
•
Set Resolution
—to set the timer to record only HD or only SD programs.
Note
: When setting Dish
PASS
timers for programs available in both HD and SD, by
default, the receiver will automatically select the HD program for recording.
•
Set Frequency
—to record only new episodes of a program. By default, all episodes
of a Dish
PASS
event will be recorded.
•
Set Channel
—to select a specific channel. When setting manual timers, you select a
channel from a scrolling list of all channels in your guide.
•
Start Early
—to begin a timed recording a few minutes earlier than its scheduled start.
•
End Late
—to continue recording after the program’s scheduled ending time.
•
Set as System Default
—to use the Start Early and End Late settings for this event as
the new defaults for future event timers.
•
Recording Preferences
—select the option of SD or HD recording (if available).
•
Maximum Recorded Events
—to automatically delete the oldest unprotected
recordings after a specified number of them are accumulated for this particular timer.
Note
: This option is especially valuable for certain Dish
PASS
timers, which might
otherwise fill up your DVR storage with too many episodes of a single program.
