Dish
PASS
lets you create timers to record programs automatically based on your search
terms. When the receiver finds programs that meet your search term, it will automatically
set a timer to record that program. As the program guide is updated, Dish
PASS
will
continue to find and record your shows based upon your search criteria.
An example of how to use Dish
PASS
may be that you saw a movie in the theaters and
you want to watch it again as soon as it comes out on a movie channel. Use the
Exact
Match
and
Title
options, and then type the exact title of the movie. If the movie is made
available on a movie channel you subscribe to, the receiver will automatically set a timer
to record that movie for you.
