Timer Skip Types
The following are reasons why timers are skipped. They are listed within Daily Schedule,
when you choose select a previous day's timer from the 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
DVR Events list.
•
Not a new episode
- used for New Episode timers. Currently, a New Episode is one
that has the current year listed in the EPG info.
•
Incorrect event
- for Weekly, Daily and Monday-Friday timers. If the guide has a dif-
ferent event listed (for example, the timer was set up for Daily, but it only occurs Mon-
day-Friday) the timer will be skipped.
When a Timer Starts a Recording
For two minutes before an event timer starts a recording, the receiver may display a digital
countdown on the TV screen. This symbol disappears when the program begins. While
the symbol is displayed, you may do one of the following:
•
Press the remote control Cancel button to clear the symbol from the TV screen. This
does not stop the recording from starting.
•
Press the remote control Info button to see more information on the event timer. If you
do this, you have the following choices:
— Select the OK option to continue with the event timer.
— Select the Stop Timer option to stop the event timer.
Note
: Pressing Info about a timer event only works one time. Subsequently pressing
the Info button results in the current program’s information being displayed in the
normal way.
Maximum Number of Event Timers
You can create a limited number of event timers. If you try to create more, the receiver
displays a menu giving you the option to delete an existing timer. If you do not delete
an existing timer, you will not be able to create any new ones.
