Reasons Why Timers are Skipped
If a timer is skipped, the reason is stated on the Timers List.
•
Priority
—this timer had a lower priority than other events being recorded at the time.
•
User
—a user chose to skip that timer.
•
Duplicate event
—there is already another timer set to record that program.
•
Event exists in DVR
—the program was already recorded and can be seen in the
Daily Schedule list.
•
Not a new episode
—used for New Episode timers. Currently, a New Episode is one
that has the current year listed in the Program Guide information.
•
Incorrect event
—for Weekly, Daily and Monday-Friday timers. If the guide has a
different event listed the timer will be skipped. For example, the timer was set up on a
Saturday for Daily, but the program is broadcast only Monday-Friday, so the timer will
be skipped on the weekends.
When a Timer Starts a Recording
For two minutes before an timer starts a recording, the receiver may
display a digital countdown (timer reminder) on the TV screen. This
countdown disappears when the program begins. While the
countdown is displayed, you can:
•
Press CANCEL to clear the symbol from the TV screen. This does not stop the timer
from starting.

the following choices:

Note
: Pressing INFO on the timer reminder only works one time. Subsequently
pressing INFO results in the current program’s information being displayed.
