• 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.
• Dish
PASS
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.
